re: Team USA Basketball training camp roster announced UPDATED

Looking at the 28 team roster that was announced as the player pool a while back, these were the "cuts"

LaMarcus Aldridge
Carmelo Anthony
Tyson Chandler
Dwight Howard
Andre Iguodala
LeBron James
David Lee
Kawhi Leonard
Chris Paul
Russell Westbrook
Deron Williams

I think it's safe to say that the only actual cuts may have been Iggy, Lee, and Chandler, with Leonard having to turn down the spot because of his finals appearance, and LeBron, Paul, Melo, Howard, Williams, Westbrook, and Anthony not wanting to be considered until 2016.

Sounds like Aldridge flat out rejected the call up though and will not be considered in 2016.

Team's only weakness is perimeter defending. Thompson and George are the only ones I would say are actually good. Is Beal a good defender? That may get him the 8th back court/wing forward spot.
