    If he stays healthy and can improve his numbers some, I don't think there is any doubt. Plus, people love dunk highlights and he has plenty.

    I think he and Iverson will be the backcourt in 2004. That should be against the olympic rules to have Francis and Iverson in the same backcourt.

    that won't happen, cause they're both short....starting both is something they wouldn't do, but they cane definately both be on the roster......I'm thinking more Courtney Alexander and Francis.........

    I can imagine Brand, Odom, ad Franics all on the 2004 team. That is if Odom keeps improving, but Im sure Brand and Francis will.

    I don't see why it would matter if Iverson and Francis are short because the rest of the world ain't too much taller, and I don't think that the Olympics would have Iverson because doesn't the NBA help chose the team? I feel that the NBA (David Stern and co.) don't like Iverson. They did have Sir Charles though.

    I don't think Iverson will be on the 2004 olympic team cause of his bad boy image. Just like Latrell Sprewell will never be on an olmpic team. My guess for the 2004 olmympic team would be this:
    C-Tim Duncan
    PF-Kevin Garnett
    SF-Vince Carter
    SG-Kobe Bryant
    PG-Jason Kidd
    Bench:Chris Webber
    Michael Finley
    Tracy Mcgrady
    Antonio McDyess
    Steve Francis
    Elton Brand
    Ray Allen
    Those are my guesses, Ray Allen is the only proven outside shooter on the team.

    Hughes (3rd favorite player)

    Francis (favorite player)
