    I'd go with the above, playing Lillard at 2 and Leonard at 3 from time to time.

    this team once again serious lacks shooting and skilled bigs.
    because of his great jump shot, I think lillard will see a lot of time at the 2.

    but i have to disagree with your last two points. This team has some really skilled big men( cousins and monroe have both proved to be extremely skilled and then you have sanders and davis who have both greatly improved from the start of this season)

    this team is also packed with shooters. what they are lacking, however, is a go to scorer. Most likely it will be Kyrie or George.

    Cousins won't represent the USA unless he grows up which I wouldn't count on. Kings might put up with it but Team USA won't.

    That team gets beat by Spain by 20+.

    Only the big guns will suffice now that the rest of the world is catching up.

    Which of these players doesnt make the cut?

    Is the gold theirs for the taking? Do you think theyre better than the last world cup team led by Durant in 2010
    Bolded make the team.

    As for the questions - 2010 team was better so I don't think these guys will be clear cut favorites...

    He's already been in the system and was on the 2010 World Championship roster. This is just the group of players USA Basketball is inviting to a mini camp this summer so they can get them used to the process and expand the field of players they will select from. It is nothing more than that.
