Butler joins Harrison Barnes, Michael Carter-Williams, Mike Conley, Draymond Green, Tobias Harris, DeAndre Jordan and Victor Oladipo as new members to the 2014-16 USA National Team roster.

LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry highlight the 26 returning players.

Team USA now features four players from the Golden State Warriors (Green, Curry, Barnes and Klay Thompson), three from the Cleveland Cavaliers (LeBron, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love) and three from the Los Angeles Clippers (Jordan, Blake Griffin, Chris Paul). Butler is the only Bulls player on the roster.

Former Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau will serve as an assistant coach to Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, who will head up the USA Basketball coaching staff.
