Last week, Team USA Basketball announced the final 12 players that will represent the United States in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain, which officially begins later this week. Although the team is composed mostly of NBA All-Star players, it lacks the big names like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant.

We’ll soon find out. In the meantime, here’s a preview to Team USA’s 2014 FIBA World Cup roster.
