Memnoch, don't forget that CP3 and and LeBron can also knock down threes. I expect Deron Williams to show off some of his skill from behind the arc as well. The team has phenomenal ball handlers in CP3 and Jason Kidd, and Prince is a reliable jump shooter for them to look to. This is looking like the best men's USA basketball team we've put together in a while. The Olympics should be a lot of fun to watch!

I shudder to think of Boozer playing at 5. Obviously Coach K plans to play small, run and gun ball. Are they expecting that Howard will stay out of foul trouble every game? And while CP3 and LeBron can hit their treys they're kind of streaky.
Still a strong team - not as strong as I'd hoped. I know a number of players declined the invites, but I feel they really needed one more big. Too many guards on the team.
