ESPN.com announced that the roster for Team USA was released.
Here is the squad.
Carmelo Anthony
Jason Kidd
Carlos Boozer
Chris Paul
Chris Bosh
Tayshaun Prince
Kobe Bryant
Michael Redd
Dwight Howard
Dwyane Wade
LeBron James
Deron Williams
What stands out immediately is that they are carrying 3 point guards on a 12 man team, and also have LeBron, Kobe, and Dwayne Wade, who all take turns at bringing the ball down the court. It looks like they are just going to try to run teams off the court.
They also seem a tad bit small with only Dwight Howard there to swat away shots. You’re going to see a lot of LeBron and Carmelo at power forward and because they are such good athletes, they’ll get away with it. What I worry is that if you play a team with two good post players, Dwight Howard isn’t going to be able to block every shot.
I’m sure I’ll be blogging a few of the Team USA games as well as the upcoming NBA Draft on Thursday.
