The US Olympic team is finally complete:

C: T. Duncan
PF: A. Stoudemire
SF: S. Marion
SG: A. Iverson
PG: S. Marbury
C: C. Boozer
PF: E. Okafor
SF: C. Anthony
SG: L. James
PG: D. Wade
SF: R. Jefferson
PF: L. Odom
Coach: Larry Brown, Gregg Popovich

Strength: We got size and toughness. Boozer, Okafor, and most of these players are muscle players so we should be able to push everyone else around.  Scoring: not a problem at all.  The majority of the players are 20+ ppg so we are loaded offensivly.  Rebounding: we should be able to win on the board easily. Every player averaged 4+ RPG. Defense: Very good defenders, teams are going to have a hard time scoring against us.
Weakness: 3-point shooting. S. Marion seems to be our best 3-point shooter and that is just sad. Passing: We have no true point guard on the team. Experience: It’s the first time for most of these player so let’s not be too confident. Remember what happen the last two trips. Overall, I expect nothing less than gold but I don’t know. I think the lack of shooters might hurt us.
