We should pull the team from the college ranks, not the professional ranks to
begin with.

While the college ranks actually play a team game, much like
international basketball is played, times have changed. Basketball
has spread world wide now and other countries have learned to play the
game. Kids, even talented kids, may not be able to compete against
the more experienced international teams who have had the benefit of
playing together for years and know the international rules.

The era of the dream team is over.
