So lets say all the good US Basketball players want to play the Olympics. And the only criteria is to nominate the 12 players who will form the strongest possible US team. So no players who get rewarded for past career achievements - just the best players right now.

What should the roster look like? Which 12 players should be in it?

Starters: Curry, Holiday, Lebron, KD, Embiid Bench: Tatum, Booker, Haliburton, Edwards, B. Lopez, Bam, AD

I put holiday in the starting lineup for defense since the rest of the starters can carry the offense.

Also put Lopez in there as an Embiid backup/injury insurance. Since there isn’t a defensive 3 second rule he can just stand in the paint and block the shit out of everyone while shooting threes on the other end.
