Why didn't the USA Men's basketball team choose a taller and bigger lineup for the Olympics this summer?

Question

I know tyson chandler was in the running and some other players that i cant remember. I think tyson would have been a good choice because he works very well with cp3 and is a good defensive center. With all these uncertainties about the olympic team being too short, they should have added some other taller players. Can someone tell me the other people that were in the running, why they weren't picked and why the coaches didn't pick bigger people.

Answer 1

international basketball is all about perimeter players and guards

Answer 2

As far as i know amare was one of the prospects but he withdrew from the lineup i think. amare could be a better addition. but in the teams case they have big SG ang SF's so they wont be lacking on size i think. but the bigmen of the team i think is still limited and they should know what strengths and weaknesses of their team.

Answer 3

stock up on scorers like bryant,james,wade, i dont know. we'll see in 10 days.
