That's exactly what i'm talking about... None of these players mesh well.
For the last few years, every "Dream Team" is a bunch of superstars that take too many ill-advised shots. Team basketball is how games are won, ie. Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Argentina, etc...
I don't think it would hurt us to have a lock down defender starting on the team either, like a bruce bowen or a ron artest. I'm hoping that this youth movement for team USA instills some team ball with coach K coaching.
