D-Will & Boozer Make U.S.A. Team
D-will and Booze made the U.S.A. team this past Monday. No big surprise to Jazz fans.
D-Will (I think) only made the team due to Billups taking his name off the list. I think D-Will needs more respect in the league, he should have been the first or second guard picked for the team instead if Billups being the teams first choice.
D-Will and Chris Paul are the top guards in the NBA, and D-Will should be up there with Paul, and not be behind Jason Kidd and Billups. Kidd has had his time, and is getting old and slow, but still is in the front running ahead of D-will.
What do you think?

I think you're right. I was saying that D-Will should have been thought of before billups, and in some cases Kidd.

I want add on to my comment. Kidd will be a good leader, but just have him on the bench while Paul and D-Will kick ass!!!

There is no question that D-Will has the skills for the team, I just think it was coming down to leadership. Something he still needs work with, work he'll now get on the Olympic team with Kidd there to show him the ropes a bit.
