Appears to be set. Here’s who I would start and rotate:

Starters: C DeAndre Jordan (Cousins is a better player no doubt, but Jordan’s rim protection and rebounding gives him the nod.)  PF Melo veteran leader of team, and much success and this position before. SF KD. SG Paul George. PG Kyrie.

2nd unit: C Boogie Cousins. PF Draymond. SF Jimmy Butler. SG Klay, PG Kyle Lowry

Last 2: DeRozan, Harrison Barnes

Really like that 2nd unit line up. Have to play Dray and Klay together. And I feel like the other 3 would gel together nicely.

Only thing I disagree with is taking Barnes over John Wall. I could be wrong, but was under the impression that Wall wanted to play. Having a 3 pg, who can be more of a facilitator and has more athleticism than Kyrie and Lowry would be beneficial. Especially when you already have multiple wing players who can play 2 or 3 positions to begin with. 

Wish LeBron, Cuury, Westbrook, Kawhi, Paul, AD could play, but this team should be just fine. Let me know your thoughts

 Wall declined his invitation this year (probs due to being snubbed previously like lillard)

Actually he’s coming off of surgery on both knees.  It won’t let me post the link but here’s a quote from an article on it:  "Wall is expected to be ready for the start of next season, but his status for training camp is unknown and he won’t be available to play for Team USA in the Olympics this summer."

 Clay Thompson should never leave the court on that team.
