    ANd you would see him bust. You won't no see no dunks except fast break. without 3 second rule on defense it's hard to get dunks in normal play.

    I would put Chandler on the team -- you need size in international competitions and one center will not cut it.

    Chandler was sorry in 2010 and Odom was much more effective at C than he was. I supposed you could blame it to rust coming off an injury, but I don't think he belongs. Team USA didn't need a full-time backup C in 2008.

    I don't see how Kevin Love will make it , if defense is important to international play.

    Got to have Melo, he kills it in FIBA and more shooters instead of slashers because of zone defenses.

    PG Paul
    SG Kobe
    SF Melo
    PF Love
    C Howard

    They should really consider replacing Chandler with either DeAndre Jordan or Andrew Bynum... its sets them up better for the future to add a young center to the roster.
