Personally I'm surprised with these selections; Kevin Durant, Antawn Jamison, Adam Morrison, and Greg Oden.

Durant and Oden: I don't mind them playing youngsters, especially Rookies. It's a good experience for them, but doesn't anyone feel like they're having heavy expectations put on them to perform at such a young age?

Adam Morrison: Apart from some glimpses of skill last season, does anyone see ANYTHING in him worthy of playing for the National team? I sure don't. His Rookie season was pretty much a bust. What's changed so far?

Antawn Jamison: I guess it's simply because he's been off the radar for a while, his is a surprise entry for me.

Personally, I'm happy about these ones; Tyson Chandler, J.J Redick, Luke Ridnour.

Chandler: Deserves a day in the limelight. Has played awesome bball for the last four or five years.

Redick: Never had a chance with Hill in charge. Hopefully, we'll see the REAL Redick this season being backed by Van Gundy.

Ridnour: Earned his spot on the team by being the leader for the Sonics. Sadly, he'll probably take a back seat from now on with Durant stealing the show in Seattle.

What are your thoughts on the team's selections?

this team should be much better simply because they will get better PG output on O and D (no more Marbury and Iverson types playing the point)

This team has better outside shooters than the last one. Arenas, Redd and Billups should improve this team the most from previous versions

I think Morrison is brought in because of training purposes (a very european game with coming off screens)

It's an overall better team, but I know my first two cuts would definitely be Brad Miller (old/washed up) & Shawn Marion (Nothing w/o Steve Nash)...
