Team USA's roster for the 2024 Summer Games in Paris appears to be set.

With reports emerging Tuesday that Kawhi Leonard would be the 12th and final member of the team after 11 players were reported on Monday—LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum, Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday, Anthony Davis, Anthony Edwards, Bam Adebayo and Tyrese Haliburton—the star-studded lineup is complete.

That group is loaded. It doesn't mean there weren't some potential snubs.

Jalen Brunson is going to be an All-NBA selection—and was already an All-Star—after averaging 28.7 points and 6.7 assists for the No. 2 New York Knicks. There will be questions as to why Holiday or even the younger Haliburton were selected over him.

The answer is likely that Holiday is a defensive specialist who will bring balance to a team loaded with scorers, while Haliburton is the better overall playmaker, again providing balance.

Kyrie Irving was probably snubbed for the same reasons. He had a strong season for the surging Dallas Mavericks, averaging 25.2 points and 5.2 assists, though the specific specialties of Holiday and Haliburton perhaps made them better fits from a team-building perspective.

Paul George, one of the game's better two-way wings, looms as the only other significant snub. But who would you leave off this roster to get him involved?

His teammate, Leonard, is the better overall player when healthy. So are Team USA mainstays James and Durant. Tatum (26.9 PPG, 8.1 RPG), Edwards (25.9 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 5.1 APG) and Booker (27.1 PPG, 6.9 APG) had better statistical seasons than George (22.6 PPG, 5.2 RPG). When breaking down the wings for the Americans, it's hard to argue with the selections.

This is an extremely talented and surprisingly balanced group of players. If this group plays unselfishly and is willing to accept the roles Steve Kerr constructs for them, nobody in the world will beat them.
