Its hard to predict who will be the 12 man roster especia
lly with the point gaurd position being so good. Who do yal think will make it ?
I chose Drummond over Millsap due to rebounding n defense. And leaving out Parsons, Wall and Bealwas tough as well

[Im Still Ballin]

I donno but Demarcus will be MVP. I know this.

[Jlamb47]

Yeah hel be a beast, I think Anthony Davis will do better.

[Rocketswin2013]

Rose
Harden
George
Durant
Davis was the lineup Coach K used the most so its probably the starting lineup

Bench should be
Curry/Wall
Derozan
Parsons
Millsap
Cousins/Drummond

Edit: Forgot Curry. Goodbye Irving.

[Jailblazers7]

Yeah, I think Wall should be on the team for sure. Team USA always does better when they have a guy like him in the line-up who is fine with feeding the talent around him and only taking like 5 shots. I would just tell Wall to go get me 12 assists and be a maniac on defense.

I'd probably leave Drummond off due to redundancy if they select Boogie and Faried. Millsap is a really good PF for international play so I'd rather have him.

I doubt they choose Derozan over Thompson, they probably want a off ball player with all the gaurds. I heard Millsap got pushed around by Drummonds in the 1st day of practice so i didnt choose him. Irving is gonna make it over Wall

[Thorpesaurous]

If it were me I'd leave Harden behind, but I know that isn't going to happen.

And I'd seriously consider leaving Rose behind for fear of him having to miss time, and even at his best his game isn't the most internationally adept.

I like Parsons as a fit because he can space and maybe play some 4. I like Milsap as an international big who'll help on the glass where we'll need it. Cousin's is a must. I'm a little worried about Drummond because his shooting and FT shooting will be a huge problem, and what he brings defensively could be keep in foul issues internationally.

[LoneyROY7]

Gonna be a coming out party for Anthony Davis.

[AboutBuckets]

Kind of pissed at Blake and Love for backing out, both of them would excel in the international game (cue Euroleague flaming me saying they would both be scrubs). DMC and Davis are going to simply terrorize other frontcourts though, with the exception of Spain. That's gonna be a tough matchup, and where we'll miss Blake and Love the most.

[Im so nba'd out]

my line up

PG Derrick Rose-Kyrie Irving
SG Klay Thompson-Stephen Curry-Bradley Beal
SF Paul George-James Harden
PF Kevin Durant-Kenneth Faried
C Anthony Davis-Demarcus Cousins

idc who the 12th man is he wouldn't get time anyway prolly parsons or something

[nathanjizzle]

why is their 4 pgs. i would think its rose, curry, lillard . rose and curry if it were 2. curry is a shoe in.

[Legends66NBA7]

12 man roster, right ?

PG - Derrick Rose/Stephen Curry/Damian Lillard
SG - James Harden/DeMar DeRozan/Klay Thompson
SF - Paul George/Chandler Parsons
PF - Kevin Durant/Anthony Davis
C - DeMarcus Cousins/Andre Drummond

That's the best overall players at each position. I'm assuming the coaches go at that direction.


Miss the cut

Bradley Beal
Kenneth Faried
Paul Millsap
Gordon Hayward
Kyrie Irving
Kyle Korver
John Wall


PG is tough, but I think Irving and Wall won't make it. I heard on the first day of practice that Rose looked "really good" and Tom Thibodeau an assistant coach on the team. Monty Williams will also vouch for Davis too.

[AboutBuckets]

Monty Williams will also vouch for Davis too.

Lol Davis needs no vouching, dude is a lock for the team

[Legends66NBA7]

Lol Davis needs no vouching, dude is a lock for the team

Yeah, forgot Griffin and Love aren't on the team. Scratch that.

[Jlamb47]

Yeah, forgot Griffin and Love aren't on the team. Scratch that.

Davis > Griffin n Love for international game
He brings the defense that they cant bring, and we need that more then offense
