It's going to be scary one way or the other. I would take Carmello Anthony given his record in international play, and Iguodala for his defence.

Howard, James, Durant, Bryant, Paul
Bosh, Anthony, Iguodala, Wade, Rose, Love, Curry

Prob forgot some, they have so much talent!

Why would the MVP come off the bench for Paul?

I think Rose is a great point guard, but with this team I felt they needed more of a distributor. He is a score first guy IMO, so I went with Paul instead

C- Howard
PF- Serge ibaka for defense
SF- lebron
SG- dwade
PG- Rose
6- melo
7- Paul
8- javal McGee defense
9- JOe Johnson for 3s
10- durrant deffinately
11- Blake griffithn
12- Kevin love

my starting 5
5- Howard
4- James
3- Kobe
2- Wade
1- Rose
Bench
D. Williams, Anthony, Stoudamire, Durahnt, Paul, Griffin, maybe Westbrook

Can't go wrong any way u stack it really... Every one else just competing for second place... Also realize LBJ isn't a PF but in world competition at 6'9 and 265 and with his rebounding ability and athleticism I think he would dominate still

Durant**

Judging by last year, Durant is the best out of all them internationally. By a reasonable margin too. His level of play was something that no one I spoke to had seen before.

@anonymous - I just googled Drummond and watched some of his clips, wow. Very very athletic for a big man, and looks like he does not mind getting nasty down low as well. I realise he is playing high school but hopefully he comes through. The lack of big men in the NBA right now is appalling.

SG will be the interesting spot.
it is possible Wade and Kobe decide not to play due to age/injuries.
So who will they use instead....
Iggy, Harden .....
Struggling to think of any other good youngish (under 30), 3pt shootng 6'5-6'6 USA players
Korver, but is terrible on D
Ellis, Redick, Mayo or Gordon are short for International play

Lopez or Love have to get a center spot.
Both would suit the International game perfectly.

The US ran two point guards in Turkey, they could easily do that again if they had to (especially if Kidd were one of them). Westbrook, Rose and Billups played lots of minutes together at the WCs and covered fine defensively. Gordon was the other one to play decent minutes at SG.

maybe Jo Johnson could get a start if they need a big 2 guard to back up Iggy

It would gd if they got iggy for starting line up and then have a jr smith or jame harden for explosive scoring. but there most likely to choose joe johnson at the sg

5 - Dwight Howard
4 - LeBron James
3 - Kevin Durant
2 - Andre Iguadala
1 - Chris Paul

6 - Dwyane Wade
7 - Tyson Chandler/Blake Griffin
8 - LaMarcus Aldridge 
9 - Derrick Rose/Russell Westbrook
10 - Stephen Curry/Jimmer Fredette
11 - Carmelo Anthony 
12 - Lamar Odom/Danny Granger

As long as each of the starters make themselves available I think they'll be locks. 
Dwyane Wade came off the bench at the last Olympics and was their best player. If he can do the same  and play that filler/plugger role where he lifts them in any area that they are lacking then they will not lose.
I think the they got with just 3 true big men and I think that Aldridge fits the team perfectly so the final toss up is between Chandler and Griffin. Chandler plays far superior defense and they do not need this player to score so I'll give him the nod over Blake. 
With Paul playing that pure point guard I see them going for a scoring point guard as his back up. Rose is a better scorer and so I'll just give him the spot. Russell is probably just as deserving and it's because of this that I think that there's a chance both might make it. 
Every team needs a pure shooter to come off the bench. Neither are renowned for there defense but Curry and Jimmer could come in and shoot lights out. Curry is more experienced but damn Jimmer would be exciting!
Along with Durant and Wade, Carmelo has been one of the USA's best at international level. His pure scoring and ability to rebound the ball allows him to play both the 3 and the 4 he to I'd a lock. 
The final spot is open to almost anyone. Could go to the loser of the Westbrook Rose spot, another shooter like a Danny Granger or a player who can play and guard multiple positions like Lamar Odom. Any will be deserving. 

Pfft, time for the better lineup:

C: Howard
PF: Durant
SF: Anthony
SG: Iguodala
PG: Paul

5: Rose
6: Curry
7: Aldridge
8: Griffin
9: Wallace
10: Odom

The USA team is deep enough that Lebron isn't even needed. Starting 5 has 4 of 5 people who can score 35pts+ each on any day, great passing, excellent rebounding, excellent fast break team.

Bench is deep with rebounders, defenders, a versatile role players. And you have 4 player rotations at the 3, 4 & 5 spots; and a 3 player rotation at the point.

So many combos right there and nearly 2/3rds of the team are or have been capable role players.

Howard/Love
Lebron/Aldridge/Giffin
Durant/Carmelo
Wade/Kobe/Austin Rivers
Wall/Rose/Curry(13thMan)
