They're either chucking it from afar, or taking it straight to the basket with piss poor defense. How is this a medal sport? Where is men's soccer? I know the rosters are depleted, but surely it's of higher quality than a bunch of weekend warriors.

What's surprising to me is the lack of skill and athleticism on display. I watched Canada vs. France womens 3v3 and EVERY outside shot wasn't even close. The only baskets from either team were layups.
I expect new Olympic sports to take some time for the quality of competition and skills to improve, however basketball isn't new.
