Out of the players in that scrimmage, here is the team I'd like to see selected:
C -- Brook Lopez + Tyson Chandler + L.Odom
PF -- Kevin Durant + Kevin Love
SF -- Danny Granger + Iguodala
SG -- Rudy Gay + Eric Gordon
PG -- Steph Curry + D.Rose + Westbrook
I wouldn't go near Chauncey Billups (too slow), OJ Mayo (mediocre SG), Jeff Green (mediocre PF, poor PF) or Gerald Wallace (too limited offensively at SF, decent PF). My understanding is that Tyreke Evans is injured but I wouldn't select him if he were healthy either. He needs to learn how to play with other talented players first. Nor JaVale McGee, he is too raw to make the cut (poor defender).
Lamar Odom is a more difficult call. I like what he was doing defensively but I hated his passive play offensively. The team had no inside presence when Odom was at center because he was out at the three point line acting a stand still passer. No movement. No cuts to the rim. Nobody below 15 feet for the team. Horrible offensive play. I would love to leave him at home but I think the team needs a fifth big man so I'd select him as the 12th man just to provide some big man insurance.
Rajon Rondo would be touch and go. For me, it's between Rondo and Rose for that primary backup PG spot.
No way that Steph Curry would ever, ever, ever start over both Rondo and Rose. Never. Kid is good, but Rondo and Rose are proven top of the line point guards, whereas Curry plays on an all-offense-no-defense crappy team. OJ Mayos better than Eric Gordon and Iguodala would fit better as the starting 2 with Rudy Gay as a backup to both Granger and Iguodala. Also, playing Kevin Durant at the four is very dangerous against a team with size, such as Brazil.
