The first-time NBA All-Star will be making his first appearance in the Olympics representing the United States of America. LaVine will join NBA stars Kevin Durant, James Harden, Devin Booker, and Damian Lillard among others. This is a huge opportunity for the 26-year-old two guard. LaVine has the opportunity to play with perennial All-Stars and build relationships with elite players around the league.

Updated Team USA roster for now:

Bam Adebayo
Bradley Beal
Devin Booker
Kevin Durant
Draymond Green
James Harden
Jrue Holiday
Zach LaVine
Damian Lillard
Kevin Love
Khris Middleton
Jayson Tatum

That's all 12 spots filled. We'll see Finals teams have an impact or not on who goes.

Zach LaVine is coming off his best statistical season as a pro as he averaged career highs in points (27.4 PPG), assists (4.9 APG), and rebounds (5.0 RPG). He also shot 50% from the field and 41% from downtown. LaVine is the first Chicago Bulls player since Jimmy Butler to represent the franchise on Team USA.
