SMALL FORWARD<br />
KEVIN ÐURANT<br />
AGE: 21<br />
MAJOR INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE: None.<br />
Durant brings versatility to Team USA. He is 6-9 with incredible shooting<br />
ability, an ability to post up smaller defenders, and draws fouls at a<br />
high rate. Not only does he provide skills few others can, but Durant is<br />
already becoming the face of USA Basketball. He was their spokesperson<br />
at the debut press conference for the World Basketball Festival, and<br />
is one of the most likable guys in sports today. With Kobe, LeBron and<br />
Wade possibly skipping this summer’s World Championships, Durant will<br />
likely be the go-to guy for Team USA. He is the centerpiece of the<br />
next generation.<br />
RUDY GÁY<br />
AGE: 23<br />
MAJOR INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE:<br />
2005 U-21 World Championships.<br />
Gay is probably the most athletic player among USA Basketball’s<br />
younger class. He can run, jump and dunk with the best of them, and will<br />
bring highlights to Team USA. Gay is also a very solid defender who can<br />
score, but like his Memphis Grizzlies teammate Mayo, his shot-selection<br />
is suspect, and that will need to improve before he has a featured role<br />
on the national squad.<br />
