So much for the training camp competition for the final spots on the Olympic team. The United States will pick its squad without a tryout.
The Americans have changed their plans and will select the 12 players headed to Beijing before they report to Las Vegas later this month. Originally, the team was to have potentially 16 players in camp and cut down to 12 on June 30.
"The staff really is more interested in getting down so that they can get to work in terms of preparation. We have switched our thinking," USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
"Our plan is to go ahead and announce our team sometime before we get to Las Vegas." [ESPN]
