On this episode of the Big 3 NBA Podcast, A. Sherrod Blakely is joined be CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning as they discuss the Team USA benching of Jayson Tatum; the Jaylen Brown, Team USA and Nike on-again kerfuffle; and a look ahead to the game against South Sudan.<\/p>\n

During Team USA\u2019s victory over Serbia, Jayson Tatum was listed as a DNP CD (Did Not Play, Coaches Decision) before sitting the entirety of the matchup.<\/p>\n

Fans wondered if Tatum was hurt before Steve Kerr acknowledged that it was simply due to the matchup and that Tatum would play in their next round against a different opponent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s certainly politics at play here and I won\u2019t go that direction but the one I\u2019m looking at is Embiid because he continues to be ineffective, he continues to start for them and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s as simple as saying alright Embiid goes out Tatum goes in or you play Tatum at center and go small\u2026But if you tinker with the rotations it feels overdue to pull back from Embiid,\u201d said Bobby Manning on the latest episode of The Big 3 NBA Podcast.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Tatum\u2019s benching is not the first time this Olympics that there is seemingly disrespect towards players on the Celtics roster. Despite the Celtics sending the most players from their roster to the Olympics, Eastern Conference Finals and Finals MVP Jaylen Brown was denied a spot on the roster after Kawhi Leonard exited from injury.<\/p>\n

While Derrick White was chosen in place of Leonard for his hustle plays and defensive capabilities, in terms of overall talent Jaylen Brown was the clear choice for the best available player to add to the roster.<\/p>\n

Steve Kerr admitted that his decision to not play Tatum was not the best one he\u2019s made after the game.<\/p>\n

Bobby Manning and A. Sherrod Blakely continue to discuss the impact of Tatum\u2019s benching and the state of Team USA basketball.<\/p>\n
