For Boston Celtics rising star Jaylen Brown, Team USA is ‘nowhere near' its peak despite winning convincingly against Canada.
Brown admits that he and his teammates need to put it some more work for them to co-exist perfectly. It will be tough, but he believes they'll get there sooner than later.

“I’m biased of course. But, we still come out and play. We have some good talent. We just have to continue to work together until it falls in place like seamlessly. It’s a little bit rugged. It’s not fluid yet, but we will get there.”
Team USA took down Canada 84-68. Before that, however, the team suffered a stunning defeat at the hands of the Australians in the second game of their back-to-back tune-up matches.
Some say that the loss indicates anyone could snag the gold in the FIBA World Cup. Brown and the Americans, nonetheless, are still confident in their chances. After all, they still boast plenty of top-tier talent and remain the top-ranked team in the world
Sure enough, Team USA is not letting their win over Canada get in their heads. Everyone expects them to defend their FIBA World Cup title and win the gold, so the pressure is on them to deliver.
