Roster

With none of the 2008 Olympians on the roster, the team was derisively called a "B-Team." The team featured six players 22 years old or younger and only one true center in Tyson Chandler.[3] The team was projected to field a powerful inside-oriented team, but contractual issues with Amar'e Stoudemire and an injury to David Lee forced them to withdraw from the team on the opening day of training camp, and Brook Lopez was also unavailable due to injuries.[5]


Head coach: United States Mike Krzyzewski
