After the final commitment from Josh Hart, Team USA has its final roster for the upcoming 2023 FIBA World Cup.

The roster is headlined by young NBA stars Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards, and Tyrese Haliburton. The team has two defensive big men - the reigning Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr. and All-Rookie First Team member Walker Kessler.

Although it was first believed he would choose to play for Italy, Paolo Banchero ultimately chose to represent Team USA. A similar story happened with Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves, as he had a chance to represent Germany due to his family roots in the country.

Brooklyn Nets forwards Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson, New Orleans Pelicans star Brandon Ingram, and Milwaukee Bucks stretch big man Bobby Portis complete the 12-man list.

Team USA will compete in Group C of the 2023 FIBA World Cup together with Jordan, Greece, and New Zealand.
