USA Basketball Rosters Announced


The Rosters for the USA Mens Basketball Team have been selected.

Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets)
Carlos Boozer (Utah Jazz)
Chris Bosh
(Toronto Raptors)
Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers)
Dwight Howard
(Orlando Magic)
LeBron James
(Cleveland Cavaliers)
Jason Kidd; (Dallas Mavericks)
Chris Paul
(New Orleans Hornets)
Tayshaun Prince
(Detroit Pistons)
Michael Redd
(Milwaukee Bucks)
Dwyane Wade
(Miami Heat)
Deron Williams
(Utah Jazz)


This team looks pretty good. I would have liked to see another defensive minded big man on the roster though. Dwight Howard will be playing exclusively at the center position and I would have liked to have a shot blocker in during his time on the bench. It's all good though with this lineup I see the USA team going small a lot with Lebron and Prince spending some time at the 4. The international big men aren't all that strong anyway so we should be fine. It's going to be interesting to see them distribute the PT among the guards Paul, Kidd, Williams, Bryant, and Wade... Someones gonna have to suck up their pride. Can't wait for the games to start.
