The United States are currently 4-0 at the Team USA basketball showcase, as they narrowly defeated South Sudan 101-100 on Saturday. During the game, South Sudan received a heroic performance from guard Marial Shayok, who had 24 points and shot 6-12 from three-point range. Despite his incredible play, South Sudan was unable to score in the final seconds, which allowed Team USA to escape with a victory.

LeBron James led the way for Team USA, scoring a team-high 25 points and shooting 10-14 from the field. Apart from James, the United States squad mightily struggled offensively. Several players shot inefficiently, including: Stephen Curry, Anthony Edwards, and Anthony Davis. All three of these players combined to shoot 9-33 from the field, which must improve for the team to win gold at the upcoming Olympic Games.

Even though the United States are coming off a terrible game, they can bounce back with a strong performance against Germany this afternoon. The Team USA roster still features an abundance of talent, which should give them the advantage today.

Notably, Germany was able to defeat the United States at the FIBA World Cup last year. In order to replicate that result, the German squad will need their star players Franz Wagner and Dennis Schroder to play well.

Wagner was the eighth overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, and he has been a great player for the Orlando Magic. He nearly averaged 20 points per game last season, and he scored 22 points against the United States in their FIBA World Cup matchup.

Schroder entered the NBA in 2013 and is still averaging double digit points per game. He is also a great passer, as he averaged six assists per game in the NBA last season. Against Team USA last year, Schroder scored 17 points and accrued nine assists. If he can play a similar game this afternoon, then Germany could knock off the United States today.
