"The strength remains the point guards, including Rose, Chris Paul, Deron Williams and Russell Westbrook;" "But Colangelo said he will also consider teams the U.S. would have to match up with, mentioning Spain and Brazil among them. Both have quality big men, meaning players such as Kevin Love and Tyson Chandler could get stronger consideration as possible backups to Dwight Howard." "The source also said that Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin is likely the only player who wasn't part of the 2008 Olympic squad or the 2010 world championship roster that will be considered for the 2012 roster in addition to the 20 players." Just a little non-Clippers news on an off day. I think Blake would fit nicely, as his jumper is better suited for the shorter international three point line, and he could play center against smaller lineups. Looks like EJ should be getting consideration as well.
