What do you think the USA World Championships Starting 5 should be?

I think

PG Chauncey Billups
SG Kevin Durant
SF Rudy Gay
PF Danny Granger
C Tyson Chandler

got the scoring, shooting, and defensive ability with a vet like Billups at PG

I dont remember who's playing.

PG Rondo
SG Durant
SF Granger
PF whoever's playing
C not chandler. not mcgee. the other one.

PG - Chauncey Billups for the veteran experience
SF - Kevin Durant because he's beast
C - Tyson Chandler because the frontcourt sucks

I forget everybody else

i reackon go with a more up-tempo back court
and start D-Rose at the 1 while you bring Rudy Gay to teh 2 guard, he can play that position and he is more versatile and athletic than Durant,
play Durant at the 3 and Granger at the 4 than probably Tyson Chandler

man you guys overlook Rudy Gay too much!@#%#@!!

pay your respects to the future

We dont overlook Rudy Gay.

He's good. But he's really not good enough to start for USA.

better than Granger in my eyes
and yes he is he has been playing extremely well throughout the USA camp
in the blue v white game
he was leader in scoring with 27 pts

so

Kevin Durant is 3 times more of the future than Rudy Gay

Billups
Iggy
Durant
Odom
Chandler

Rondo
Durant
Granger
Odom
Chandler

durant was implied... its a given when you say future

...STILL NO LOVE FOR RUDY?

Odom's not playing, right?

G: Rondo
G: Rose
F: Durant
F: Granger
C: Chandler

Rondo-Rose backcourt = crazy assists to Durant-Granger-Chandler.

Its more like Rondo-crazy assists to Rose, Durant, Granger, ALLY OOPS to chandler if you ask me

Is Kevin Love playing? If so he is definitely my PF.


PG: Derrick Rose
SG: Iggy
SF: Durant
PF: Love
C: Chandler

fi you're starting iggy and durant, why would you start Iggy at SG?

NVM i forgot about danny freak granger..



have no idea where to put him..can he play sg...or should i move durant to sg and granger to sf??

They both can play SG, but I think Durant would be a better SG than Granger

Is Russell Westbrook playing?

i believe so.

Chauncey Billups
Eric Gordon
Kevin Durant
Lamar Odom
Tyson Chandler

PG: Rose-explosive,athletic,worked on his shot so with the 3-point being shorter would be mroe effective than Rondo.
SG: Durant- he is going to TOWER over the other SG's. Just shoot right over them...even though he already shoots over people with his long ass arms.
SF: Granger- this guy is a scorer. One great scorer. I think he does better than Durant in the Olympics.
PF: Kevin Love- great rebounder and has a -point shot. With the shorter 3-point line he shuld be pretty effective.
C: Chandler- Gonna get lobs all day long.

I wanted to put Iggy in the line-up because he is a superior passer than everybody except Rose in this line-up.

Rondo/Westbrook/Iggy/Billups defense will be downright nasty.

LOL. It needs to be this: in the 1st quarter, I just bring in an all-offense no-defense lineup to get off to a quick start and get the lead, because USA's offense is by far better then any international team.

2nd quarter bring in the defensive squad to expand the lead.

3rd quarter bring in a mix of both.

4th quarter bring in all the vets to seal the game.

1st quarter lineup: PG - Rose, SG - Curry, SF - Durant, PF - Love, C - Chandler

2nd quarter lineup: PG - Westbrook, SG - Gay, SF - Granger, PF - Wallace, C - Odom

3rd quarter: PG - Rondo, SG - Gordon, SF - Durant, PF - Love, C - Chandler

4th quarter: PG - Billups, SG - Granger, SF - Durant, PF - Wallace, C - Odom

Way to make me feel like a dumbass

I think Durant should just get the ball every posession because he's more than capable of dropping 35 any game.

I guess if you look at it that way... you could also be the smart one and I'm the dumbass... but like I said if you want to take it that way...

I'm also joking by the way.

But I was serious that you have a good idea with how Team USA should play.
