Odom and Davis are big men with skills that fit well in the international game. Plus, they're both unselfish players who will not have a problem deferring to other players when it comes to scoring. I'll admit I'm surprised we can't do better, even taking into account the fact that US Basketball wants the players to fit together, but Odom especially seems like a decent option if they are convinced he can keep his head more or less straight. The 'Brow seems like he would be less likely to help this year, but maybe they view him as tailor made for the international game and want to expose him early.Hanmudog said:A little surprising considering Odom's behavior this past season and the fact that Davis has not played a second in the NBA. Of course, I don't know the selection criteria but those two seemed like strange choices.
