The US team doesn't need the top 5 players to win gold. They need players that can play as a team, be able to hit threes and make free throws. Obviously this group can't. The players on the current team aren't shitty players; they just can't play the style of basketball that is required to win gold. International teams are far better than they were in '92, so the US can no longer rely solely on athleticism to win games.
They need to play fundamental, team-oriented basketball. That's why the US women's team is still doing so well unlike the men's team.
