Tyreke Evans, Gerald Wallace, O.J. Mayo and JaVale McGee were the four unlucky players as Team USA cut their FIBA World Championship squad down to 15.
The moves were made following last week’s training camp in Las Vegas as the team prepares to head on to New York for a second camp and a series of warm-up games.
“We had an outstanding week of training camp in Las Vegas and it is apparent we have a group of guys that are very focused, committed, and desirous of playing for USA Basketball,” said USA Basketball president Jerry Colangelo.
“The identity of the team is still evolving, but it is pretty obvious we’re going to be very athletic; we’re going to be very strong in the back court; we think our shooting ability is underestimated, we think we’ve got a number of people who can shoot the ball; and so we’re pleased with our progress to date.”
