Less than six months until the games kick off in London this summer, and almost no questions have been answered conclusively about who will represent USA basketball in the 2012 Olympics. Managing director Jerry Colangelo and head coach Mike Krzyzweski find themselves in the enviable position of having to choose from one of the deepest pools of talent in the team's history.
Soon, they'll be knee deep in tough decisions. Should they start aging superstar Kobe Bryant for his experience? Will NBA stars get precedence over less accomplished players during the selection process?
Will they model the roster after the Redeem Team of 2008 or the FIBA world champions of two years ago? The pressure will be on to see if they can replicate their success from the past few years, and anything less than a gold medal will be considered a failure.
