Maybe Jeff Van Gundy should be coaching the US men’s basketball team.

Because Team USA, led by Spurs legend Gregg Popovich, appears to be in big trouble two weeks before the FIBA World Cup. In a scrimmage Wednesday against the Van Gundy-coached USA Select Team, composed of fringe NBAers and overseas players, Team USA took a stunning 36-17 loss, according to the New York Times.

The Athletic reported that the varsity team actually lost twice to the Select Team on Wednesday, the first one a three-point defeat.

Van Gundy, the former Knicks coach and current ESPN game analyst, coached some of the Select Team players during the World Cup qualifiers.

Team USA lost a bunch of its star players as many decided to focus on the upcoming NBA season instead of going to China for the World Cup, which begins Aug. 31. New Knicks forward Julius Randle earned an invite after the exodus, but he too pulled out earlier this month.

The Select Team roster includes John Jenkins, who finished last season with the Knicks, as well as former Knicks Chasson Randle and Travis Wear.

Team USA plays Spain on Saturday in an exhibition game in Anaheim, Calif., before traveling to Australia.
