Originally posted by kswizzy99 View PostSummer Olympics are coming up, and I think this year's team USA team is gonna be the sickest ever.
heres how I think the ideal team USA roster should look like:
C Howard / Griffin
PF Durant / Lebron
SF Carmelo / Harden
SG Rose / Allen
PG Paul / Deron
I know I put a lot of those guys in the positions they don't naturally play, but we're talking about olympics not NBA. They would be better off in those positions for the olympics.
Also I know I'm gonna get burned for not putting guys like Kobe, Wade and Westbrook. But I also based this on the TEAM game and if each player is capable of playing a role and satisfied with only 10 shots per game rather than 20+ which wouldn't be good on a team like this.
Each of the guys I picked would be more than willing to play the team game.
no Kobe...of course

PG-Rose/Paul/Deron/Lowry/Westbrook/Rondo....lol altho need more an assist guy here prob like Lowry, Paul or Rondo...save Rose for scoring off the bench
Most times rookies take the experience more seriously than the veterans.
And Rondo would not work out in the world game. Rondo can't shoot and in the euro style of basketball, the worst thing you can be is a guard that can't shoot. You are as good as useless on the floor no matter how skilled you are at everything else.
Kyrie Irving can do everything at a high level. He can drive, pass and shoot as good as any guard right now.

Don't like the way Melo is playing this year. He's always been terrible at killing the offensive flow of his team, but it seems especially bad this year. Melo is only good at 1on1.Last edited by -Swizzy-; 01-31-2012, 02:08 PM.

I redid the roster and put Kobe in for Melo.

If the zone can shut him down in the NBA, it will be that much easier to shut him down at the international level. The europeans are experts at shutting down the lane and forcing you to shoot. Rondo's drive-kickout/drive-finish would be easily shut down.

Originally posted by kswizzy99 View PostYes I agree that Rondo is a really good PG no doubt.... but IMO his style just wouldn't work out on a smaller court with the limited space from the 3pt to the basket.
