The Team USA mini camp is over and if based on John Wall's calculations, he'll probably won't make the final 12-man roster. 

In a year from now, the USA National Basketball Team will be flying to Rio De Janeiro to compete in the Summer Olympics. Last week, the first Team USA mini camp was held and 34 NBA players joined the drills and non-contact scrimmages. 

The pool was packed with All-Star players including current NBA MVP Steph Curry, LeBron James, Chris Paul, James Harden, Kyrie Irving and John Wall. However, for the Washington Wizards star point guard, he probably won't make the final cut.

"I'll be out of the picture," told CSN Washington. "I'm just being honest."

The two-time All-Star is "ten times out of ten" sure that Chris Paul, who was part of the 2012 Olympic Gold medal Team, and Stephen Curry, reigning MVP and part of the 2014 FIBA World Champion squad, will be making the team.

And although, as noted by CSN Washington, the 12-man roster will probably be composed of three point guards, the last spot will most likely be for Kyrie Irving. 

"Chris Paul has already won one (Olympic gold medal). Steph Curry had an amazing last year and just won the World Cup. Kyrie just won the World Cup."

Wall also noted that Team USA will probably not have a mini camp next year. 

"That will be the tough part. If you don't have mini-camp, you have to play well during the season." 

Whether or not he makes it to Team USA, Wall says his main focus will definitely be the Wizards. 

Do you think John Wall will make it to the final Team USA roster? Let us know below!
