USA Basketball announced their USA Men's Select Team roster Tuesday, and a familiar face for Bulls fans made the cut. Bulls forward Doug McDermott has been chosen to join 24 other players as part of the Select Team, which will train daily with the USA National Team from July 18-21 at UNLV's Mendenhall Center.
This isn't McDermott's first go around with USA Basketball, most recently being a part of the 2014 USA Men's Select Team. He was also a part of the U19 World Championship roster back in 2011 and participated in a National Team minicamp in 2013.
McDermott had a promising 2015-16 campaign for Chicago, playing in a career-high 81 games with four starts and averaged 9.4 ppg, 2.4 rpg, while shooting 45.2 percent from the field. He finished second on the Bulls with 110 3-pointers made. McDermott's 3-point field goal percentage of 42.5 was tied with Klay Thompson for fifth in the NBA.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich will oversee the Select Team, and Spurs assistant coach Ime Udoka and Villanova University head coach Jay Wright will serve as assistant coaches.
