Redick will join a group of young NBA players that will scrimmage the national team during camp. Chris Bosh might be limited by plantar fasciitis in his right foot that he has been battling since last season.

    USA Basketball still is finalizing the roster of NBA players that will scrimmage the national team. Several players already have committed to what is being called the NBA Select team, including Nick Collison, Monta Ellis, David Lee, Andre Iguodala, Al Jefferson and Jason Kapono.

    Colangelo said he's working on adding a couple of other players and a coach.

    "J.J. will go with the Select team," Colangelo said. "We want him to remain part of the camp. </div>

    Yeah, he's not a well-rounded player, but Team USA needs guys who can shoot the lights out from long range like Redick. He's got the best looking shot in the game.

    I guess the addition of Mike Miller is what did him in. He's basically the closest out of the invitees to being on Redick's level as a shooter.
