Sports Illustraded: In the meantime, the closest thing to pressing business for Team USA is preparing for a July minicamp in Las Vegas of young players considered to have the best chance of making the team for the world championships. Among the interesting invitations: Greg Oden, despite an underwhelming start to his career, along with Andrew Bynum, LaMarcus Aldridge and projected No. 1 pick Blake Griffin among the big men.

get that spot at center bynum

i want him to learn some competitive fire from kobe

if bynum can put in the amount of work kobe has put into his body, bynum would be an all-time great

Anything to make this guy the best. He himself said that he wanted to one day play for Team USA.

Let him play more than 12 min per game in the playoffs and then we can start thinking about Team usa..

If they win a championship this year I am fine with it but if not I hate it because he is to injury prone for that. He can't even do a regular season yet he is gonna do the olympics and play all year and not get hurt the same day I get drafted into the nba. Neither will happen.

Why Greg Oden? Why not Thabeet? Hibbert maybe even better then Oden right now. Mek would be better also and I am not a Mek fan trust me. Noah would be better then Oden.

so best case scenario, he's a walkon for the select team and not the actual 2012 team? i mean, i can't see dwight being any less amazing in 3 years, barring catastrophic injuries.

i'd be ok with it, just being at tryouts with all those other stars will be a good experience for him
