John Wall: 'I probably will not make Olympics team'

By , Reporter
Washington Wizards point guard John Wall believes that he will miss out on a place in Team USA's roster for the 2016 Olympics due to the depth of talent in his position.

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall has conceded that he may miss out on a place on Team USA's roster for the 2016 Olympics.

The 24-year-old has been named an NBA All-Star for the past two seasons and attended a mini-camp held by USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo to try to earn a place in the side for the Games in Rio de Janeiro next year.

However, Wall believes that the talent that Team USA has at his position may prevent him from making the roster for Rio.

He told Comcast SportsNet Washington: "Chris Paul has already won one [Olympic gold medal]. Steph Curry had an amazing last year and just won the World Cup. Kyrie [Irving] just won the World Cup.

"Russell [Westbrook] will probably be on the team. They'll use him as a two-guard. So, I probably won't make it."

Wall averaged 17.6 points per game for the Wizards in the 2014-15 season.
