You're going to need tough, physical and defensive minded bigs if you want to win on the international level. Blake Griffin doesn't fit that bill.
at you guys thinking we're going to win easily with just Kobe/LeBron. it's that exact mentality we had back in 04' that won us the bronze.
I'm not disagreeing with you but which 4-5 bigs do you think we should send?
I think the consensus for positions 1-3 is clear...a combination of CP3, Deron, Rose, Kobe, Wade, LeBron, Durant, Melo...
Due to the latter 3's versatility/size, you could easily count any of them as a stretch 4.
My lineup, with an emphasis on size + versatility would be:
Deron / Rose
Kobe / Wade / Westbrook
Durant / Melo
Lebron / Bosh / Griffin
Chandler / Love
Obvious omission is CP3 but I like Deron's outside game + size. Plus I just imagine a bench mob of Rose / Westbrook / Wade / Melo / Griffin ....
