FIBA want the World Cup to be the pinnacle of Basketball (because they can actually control and get money from the event) but no one in the US cares (or Australia it seems considering how people are reacting to the US players dropping out).
If the World Cup becomes a U23 comp, they'd really be cancelling the World Cup and introducing a new tournament, which FIBA won't gain revenue from.
If they turn the Olympic tournament into a U23 tournament, the top NBA players would never play international basketball.
Difference between Barlow and Adel is four centimetres. Seems strange to me given Adel is a chance to play in Rio and Barlow has 0% chance and that Barlow won't even be playing more than 5 mins a game. At least Adel could learn from the experience.
