Gordon and Mayo are battling for the final roster spot in my opinion but maybe a true PG will be cut instead. Rhondo, Rose and either Westbrook or Billups will make the team. Westbrook has a questionable outside shot which doesn't bode well for him but Billups isn't likely to be in the picture for the 2012 Olympics so why not give one of the younger players experience now?

I know other Team USA early practices had a lot of turnovers because of that. How much of the fast break problems do you think were from the players not being used to the smaller FIBA ball?

We tend to forget that most of the players are barely out of college and to be out of control is part of maturing. What was disappointing was that both Odom and Billups added nothing. If they don't do anything over there, it will be a long trip for the Yanks. The early cuts are easy. Green (very overrated) Evans (hurt,) McGee (inexperienced)and the last one should be Lopez who is a stiff, but a 7' stiff. Play Love in and out and forget about having a low post guy who can't pass, rebound or move. This team must do something out of the box, and if I see things correctly must get absurd numbers from KD and their 3 point shooters. Good analysis.
