No rest for the weary. Coach K and his USA Basketball Senior Men's staff are in Las Vegas taking a look a young talent. Their are workouts taking place along with scrimmages and showcase games. Just to be invited for an event like this can only help these young guys when they return to their respective NBA teams in the fall. Currently this summer they are attempting to catch the coaches eyes for possible spots when the 2016 Summer Olympics appear. 2011-12 Rookie of the year Kyrie Irving is apart of the festivities along with All Stars Jrue Holiday and Paul George. Also in town are DeMarcus Cousins, Ryan Anderson, Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard the 2012-13 ROY, playoff veteran Mike Conley Jr., young guys Andre Drummond, Kenneth Faried, De Andre Jordan and the list goes on and on. Team USA are always looking toward the future, they are always looking at guys who can shoot the basketball from distance, guys who can rebound the basketball, guys who can defend on the post or perimeter, even players who can run a basketball team. Clearly these guys in Las Vegas could play a large role going forward in USA Basketball
