US Mens National Team Roster

I know nothings set in stone yet, so its abit premature, but i just wanted to discuss it now

Who do you think should be on the court at anyone time during olympics and/or other intl. games???

i want the US to succeed coz beyond CJ Bruton and Bogut, i couldn't less if australia came last.

but IMO bruce bowen or shane battier HAS to be on the court at any one time. if the US is getting torched by more than one guard, put them both on, battier's offense is still respectable so its not going to turn into 55-50 war of attrition.

i think big & smart players is what will help the US win games the most. so i would think having a big point guard like chauncey or even lebron and kobe running point would be most successful. along the same lines of size, the US NEEDS dwight howard at center for 30+min a game. unless the US is playing germany and dirk is making him step out to the perimeter, having that man-child just eat up every single loose ball above the rim will have more advantages than negatives.

and of course the US needs players who can just flat out shoot for situations where they start to lose grip as some crazy argentinian starts darting all over the place and all of a sudden they given up 15 straight points. its imperative that either michael redd, joe johnson, gilbert arenas or kobe are able to come out of a time out in a set play play and knock down a 3.

in terms of forward. i would have EB, odom and marion splitting up minutes at 3 and 4 to mix up heights and styles of play.

if i were setting the teams my starting 5 would be.

chauncey billups
kobe bryant
shane battier
elton brand
dwight howard

bench (in order listed)
arenas/kobe
redd/bowen
marion/johnson/bowen
odom/marion
bosh

EDIT: oops i forgot about lebron, **** ur country is loaded. how the hell do u lose????

yeh well obviously besides my mental lapse forgetting lebron, feel free to critique my oppinions and tell me who u think should be ON THE COURT AT THE SAME TIME. not just who should be playing
