    Really happy he's a part of Team USA. I think a couple years will only increase the amount he learns from the experience - leadership, teamwork, defense.

    Looks like the starting five is Rose/Harden/George/Durant/Davis

    He's going to D up while on Team USA or he won't be playing. I'm interested to see him on the court.

    I worry about the extra mileage, but it's not like we had a deep playoff run at least! :) ... :(

    Will probably be beneficial in any case.

    I do not recognize everyone in the photo. Does Team USA have any big guys? Is Anthony Davis it? Really? Geez, the day the USA had anyone that could post up are over.

    So is that the de-facto starting five in that first video?

    Rose
    Harden
    Durant
    George
    Davis

    At least those are the 5 it looked like

    Dwight and LMA aren't at training camp but will be considered for addition into final roster.

    Could also very well be:

    Rose
    Harden
    Durant
    LMA
    Dwight

    Rose is going to be playing?

    Damn he must feel good then. I don't keep up with team USA, why isn't James, Bosh, CP3, Griffin, Aldridge or anybody else on that roster ahead of Parsons, Hayward etc? They just opted to not play?

    Already posted in a different thread, but Lowe and Simmons discussed their crunch time lineups on the bs report.

    Simmons: Curry/Thompson/George/Durant/Davis
    Lowe: Curry/Harden/George/Durant/Davis

    They weren't discussing starters specifically, but I do think those 6 will be getting the most minutes. Rose is still a question mark, but would probably join that group as the top 7 in minutes.

    The World Championship team usually doesn't get all of the best players like the Olympic team often does.

    I read on Bulls boards that Rose has intentionally bulked up.
