Steve Kerr pointed Jalen Brunson out as the “leader” of Team USA following a scrimmage on Saturday.
“I think Jalen is such a natural leader. Because he’s a point guard, he immediately comes to mind.
“He’s the one who’s leading the ‘1, 2, 3 USA’ chant. Some guys just, it just comes naturally to them,” said Kerr.
Brunson started for Team USA during a Saturday scrimmage alongside Anthony Edwards, Jaren Jackson Jr., Mikal Bridges, and Brandon Ingram.
Kerr added that he’s still tinkering with the starting lineup.
“Nothing’s set by any means. We’re learning as we go … there’ll be a lot of really interesting possible combinations just because of the skill [on the roster].”
