USA Basketball announces schedule; Hayward hopeful: For the last four summers and over the past seven years, Gordon Hayward has been involved with USA Basketball in some shape or form.

Gobert 'disappointed' with 2015-16 but has high hopes for the future: On Sunday afternoon, Raul Neto posted a photo of himself and Rudy Gobert at a beach in Miami, Florida.
