Guys, i would like to propose you to choose the best 12 american players which playing in Europe. We can imagine and call them USA NT (dream team?:)) from europe. Desirably on positions.
My pick:
PG: Terrell McIntyre (Siena)
Jannero Pargo (OLY)

SG: Trajan Langdon (CSKA)
Louis Bullock (Real Madrid)
Travis Hansen (Dinamo Moscow)

SF: Josh Childress (OLY)
Pete Mickeal (TAU)
Chack Eidson ( Lietuvos Rytas)

PF/C: Mike Batist (PAO)
Shaun Stonerook (Siena)
D,or Fischer (Maccabi)
Terence Morris (CSKA)

Starting 5: McIntyre, Langdon, Childress, Batist, Fischer
 
I would like to add J.R Holden (CSKA) if he can be considered (Since he has played on the Russian NT).

Drew Nicholas (PAO) also deserves a chance on this list.
 
I don't think you can consider Holden. He can't play for the US and Russia at the same time ;)

I'd pick McElroy over Hansen. With Langdon and Bullock you already have two elite shooters at the 2 spot, so I'd rather go for an allround energy guy with good defense like Imac. I'd also replace Morris with Haislip. Not so sure about back-up pg either. Rather Boykins than Pargo. Maybe even Calloway?
 
Interesting topic. I think Andre Hutson of Roma deserves consideration, although his scoring average is a bit marginal this season. He's a good rebounder and inside the paint scorer.
 
They already loss in 2005 with players wich playing in Europe.

Just a bit of history, the US is 19-12 (.613) all-time using non-NBA professional players over the last 14 years.

1995 Pan-American Games (4-3; silver)
1998 World Championships (7-2; bronze)
1999 Pan-American Games (4-1; silver)
2005 Tournament of the Americas (4-6; fourth place)
 
They already loss in 2005 with players wich playing in Europe.
However, some very decent players, but hardly a top selection back then.

Tyus Edney
Marque Perry
Lynn Greer
Charlie Bell
Alex Scales
Tephen Hamilton
Ronald Slay
Adam Chubb
Noel Felix
Aaron McGhee
Jerome Bealey
Kris Lang
 
You are forgetting some ACB players like Brad Oleson, Taquan Dean or Pooh Jeter...
 
PG:
David Logan (Asseco Prokom POL)
Terrell McIntyre (Montepashi Siena ITA)
Omar Cook (Unicaja ESP)

SG:
Louis Bullock (Real Madrid ESP)
Ben Reed (Benfica POR)
Taquan Dean (CB Murcia ESP)

SF:
Marcus Haislip (Unicaja ESP)
Pete Mickeal (TAU Cerámica ESP)

PF:
Mike Batiste (Panathinaikos GRE)
Andre Hutson (Lottomatica Roma ITA)

C:
Curtis Borchardt (CB Granada ESP)
D'Or Fischer (Maccabi Electra ISR)
