Look. Coach K actually knows what he's doing. Three PGs so that he can run 2 PG sets to increase ball movement if he wants to. T. Prince is a great defender and has a lot of length, so he's a difficult match-up. LeBron, Melo, Kobe for scoring. Melo is another hard match-up for international play. Boozer is a consistent player, and works well with D-Will in case they need a backup plan for pick and roll basketball to open the floor up. Michael Redd is the only pure shooter they can afford to bring, as Coach K is looking for redundancy in his players. I.E. score, slash, defend. Players that can do all of these to some extent, rather than specialize in a single one. He's worried about dumbfuck fouls gimping the team. As for Bosh and Howard, they aren't terrible defenders, actually, but no one wants to give them credit. Don't need a huge frontline, as this is international ball, and Euros especially love to have their big sitting on the three-point line. I.E. Not an NBA center. Howard is plenty for pure center. /rant
