Those were all foreign NBA players. The other national teams (minus maybe Spain) will have just a few sprinkled in here and there.

BTW, Who was Finals MVP? LOL

The 2010 team that won gold in Turkey was younger than this group.
 
Yep. The players who are going to make that 3 year commitment to USA Basketball at this point are going to be young players no older than 25-26

Looking at that list, I think Kevin Love is the vet of the group with 6 years in the league I believe and 25 years old
 



John Wall was again left off Team USA’s 19-man minicamp roster, but according to people with knowledge of the situation, the all-star point guard could still get a chance to try out for the team when it begins training in Las Vegas on July 28 in preparation for the FIBA World Cup.

After making his first all-star appearance and leading the Wizards to their first playoff series win since 2005, Wall was elated to receive an invitation from USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo but he is still recovering from a season in which he played every preseason, regular-season and playoff game – a total of 101 – for the first time in career.

Though he doesn’t have any serious ailments, Wall has yet to receive clearance from the Wizards to participate, according to people with knowledge of the situation.
