With the 2016 Olympics in Rio all but certain to remain free of an age limit, Kyrie Irving is one of the players most likely to be on Team USA.

"While covering Team USA hearing nothing but raves about him," writes Marc Stein. "One of first names on 2016 roster."

Irving was the 2012 NBA Rookie of the Year.

Krzyzewski Confirms He Will Step Down As Team USA Head Coach

Aug 11, 2012 11:56 AM

Mike Krzyzewski said on Saturday that the Gold Medal Game against Spain on Sunday will be his last as head coach of the United States.

Krzyzewski had not committed either way in terms of his status as continuing with Team USA.

"I'm sure we can get him to come back," said Kevin Durant to ESPN's Marc Stein.

Jerry Colangelo intends to talk with Krzyzewski following the Olympics, but is targeting the end of the year to find a new head coach.
