Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Brandon Ingram and Jaren Jackson Jr. appear to be locks to start for the United States in the World Cup with Anthony Edwards emerging as the favorite for the fifth spot.

Brunson has received raves from Steve Kerr for his leadership and he also has the kind of physical nature to his game at point guard that works well in FIBA.

Kerr was quick to say this "might not" be the group he sticks with ultimately following Monday's win over Puerto Rico.
