Last I heard, the full team will be set by the All-Star break.

Close but not quite...they intend to name some contingent of players by sometime around the All-star break but not the entire team. They actually plan to name 20-30 players to the team and then hold a sort of tryout using that group. From ESPN insider:

Quote:
Colangelo plans to announce a core group of players, as few as four and as many as eight, sometime around the All-Star break. Formal invitations eventually will be extended to 20 to attend training camp in Las Vegas in mid-July. The World Championship will run from Aug. 19 to Sept. 3, with the U.S. team playing its opening-round games in the northern city of Sapporo, with the opponents to be determined by draw on Sunday.
