<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>After a disappointing 2004 Olympics in Athens, USA Basketball is focused on returning to its previous international dominance. Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski will attempt to take them there, beginning five months from now at the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan.National Team managing director Jerry Colangelo will officially announce the preliminary roster on Sunday, but ESPN.com has compiled a list of 25 players that are expected to attend training camp in Las Vegas in mid-July. The team will take 15 players to the World Championship, although only 12 players can be active for any game.So, we're giving you a say, SportsNation. We're asking you which players you would like to see on the U.S. National Team that begins competition this summer?

I think that this team has to have Chauncey Billups. he can shoot, create shots for others, play defense, and is clutch. He is a must have IMO.
They give you like the top 50 players in the league...eh...figures ESPN is running this...you pretty much get the same team everytime.
