Starting 5 should be

C: Dwight Howard
PF: Chris Bosh/Carlos Boozer (Either one, both going to be the weakest link in the 5 regardless.)
SF: Lebron James
SG: Kobe Bryant
PG: Chris Paul

Amare withdrew himself from consideration. Assume it has to do with minimising stress on the knee after his comeback season.

Prince's spot is the only debatable one, could have (maybe should have) opted for a big like Chandler. USA obviously looking for versatility instead (Melo will start at the 4 by the way) over legit height/big men.

Why Amare?
If I had an opportunity to play in an Olympic team, I wouldn't care about a sore knee...Just play ball
 
where's Shane Battier?

Not one of those SFs can play defense to an international standard (with the exception of Tayshaun Prince, who will likely log the least minutes on the entire roster). When are the Americans going to understand international ball? Spread the floor, shoot the three, prevent dribble penetration, defend the wings.

Shane Battier is the first player I'd pick.

Tayshaun Prince?????

I don't know how he even gets a game at Detriot.

Surely Pierce would have been a better option.

Doesn't matter anyway - just get the rock to Kobe and get the f out the way. Who's gunna stop him? Ginobli again?
