The remainder of the roster includes young stars such as Kevin Durant - who nearly made the team that played in the 2007 Olympic qualifier and is considered a lock for this year's - and Derrick Rose. Also returning to the national team are Chauncey Billups and Amare Stoudemire, who played on the U.S. team three years ago.
Krzyzewski and assistants Jim Boeheim, Mike D'Antoni and Nate McMillan already committed to returning last summer.
Stoudemire is perhaps the biggest surprise on the roster. The All-Star forward from Phoenix basically talked himself off the 2008 Olympic team by publicly waffling about his desire to play at the end of the NBA season.
"There was a time when he was really not going to be considered," Colangelo said. "Had he not really reached out through his own efforts personally and his agent about his extreme desire to be part of it, he would not have been part of it. As a result of his expression of great interest, we reconsidered and he is now part of the pool."
