“In adding Tyreke and Stephen we’ve brought into the national team fold two of the game’s most exciting and promising newcomers,” said USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo. Added USA head coach Mike Krzyzewski: “The addition of Tayshaun, Jeff, Stephen and Tyreke to our national team roster adds additional veteran experience, versatility, and young talent. … I believe the addition of these four players will help strengthen our national team program in several areas over the next three years.”
