 Mine is:

PG: Curry, Kyrie, Westbrook
SG: Harden, Booker
SF: Durant, Kawhi, George
PF: LeBron, Love
C: Davis, Cousins
Primary reserves: Lillard, Klay, Draymond, Drummond, Butler, Beal

Surprised they didn’t pick Donovan Mitchell for the pool tho. He’s already better than several players who mede the list and he’ll surely be even better in 2020, whereas there’s no guarantee guys like Isaiah are even starters by then. Love might be a surprising inclusion, but in competitions with FIBA rules, there’s definitely no need for more than one player who couldn’t shoot threes, even better if there’s none of them.

 Lebron will be in his 17th season. Would he want to play more international basketball when he doesn’t have any thing to prove?

 enjoys playing on those stacked USA teams. It is probably the only time in his life where the entire team doesn’t rest on his shoulders. He can be the Magic Johnson playmaker he’s always wanted to be. He might go and only play 10 mpg too if rest is a need. USA bball sure won’t say no to him.
