Tyreke Evans, O.J. Mayo, Gerald Wallace and JaVale McGee have been cut by Team USA as the roster was trimmed from 19 to 15 on Wednesday, four days after the completion of the team's minicamp in Las Vegas.
The roster must be cut to 12 by Aug. 26, two days before Team USA begins competing in the World Championship in Turkey.
Kevin Durant leads three Oklahoma City Thunder players on the guard-heavy list announced Wednesday. The Los Angeles Clippers' Eric Gordon, thought to be on the bubble, made the cut.
Tyson Chandler and Brook Lopez are the only true centers on the squad, which includes talented point guards such as Chauncey Billups, Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo and Russell Westbrook.
The Thunder's Jeff Green will also join Durant and Westbrook in New York when the team reconvenes Aug. 9.
