G. Arenas announced that he quited the USA team due to the injury. Now the situation is that 13 players will complete for 12 seats. Who will be the only player eliminated by coach K? Give reason to support

Bowen will get the cut because of the fact that he doesnt have an offensive game and they have perimeter defenders already that are more versatile like Shane Battier and Kirk Hinrich.

I believe its going to be Bruce Bowen. He seems to be the odd man out in this younger team. Although he would be good for a team leader I elieve that a lot of the players are more mature than their Olympic fauilure days and are more willing to work as a team. I think Coach K has done a good job of making this team realize that it must be together instead of working as individual star and if this is true then they really don't necessarily need Bowen becasue the other players can play defense if they really try which I think they will do becasue they want to bring the gold back to the US.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Antawn Jamison. Getting rid of Bowen or Battier would defeat the purpose on why they were brought there in the first place. Bowen especially because he plays with Ginobili and has been quite successful guarding players such as Dirk. Antawn hasn't been doing so well with his role on the team. He doesn't want to be the 5th guy and last scoring reason. This is why I expect Jamison or Battier to be cut.
