USA Basketball has selected four former NCAA athletes to represent the men’s 3×3 basketball team in the U.S. Olympic debut at the 2024 Paris Games.

The four players represent BYU, Florida, Princeton and Florida Southern.

The team is led by head coach Joe Lewandowski, who has been with the USA 3×3 program since 2012 and has won seven gold medals, five silver medals and one bronze medal in men’s and women’s age-group events. Lewandowski finished his collegiate career at Slippery Rock University in 1999.

The four-man squad won a silver medal at the 2023 FIBA ​​World Cup and is aiming to win the U.S.’ first-ever 3×3 men’s basketball gold medal after failing to qualify in its first event at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
