If Team USA basketball selected its team like the Little League World Series determines its U.S. champion, who would win? That is the question we set out to find, and for the past few weeks we’ve been previewing some of the hypothetical teams based on regions. The idea is to gather the best talent in the region, and have that team represent America. Then, determine which team would actually win in a tournament.

So far, we’ve previewed the New England, Midwest, Northwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions, and today we take a look at the star-studded Great Lakes region. These players all hail from Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. Who made the squad in what might be the deepest region overall?

Guards

Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls

Leading off team Great Lakes is a starting point guard from the 2010 and 2014 FIBA World Championship teams, Derrick Rose. Rose is a former MVP whose career might be going a little differently if he could stay healthy. Regardless, he is explosive and has proven himself capable of handling a lead role. With this team, he won’t have to do much.

Jeff Teague, Atlanta Hawks

Backing up Rose is Jeff Teague, a point guard who hasn’t been called to represent team USA but is one of the better young point guards in the NBA. Teague is a true pass first point guard, and is a solid defender who can score as well. There’s a reason he made the All-Star team in 2015, and a reason he’d be an impact player for this team.

Mike Conley, Memphis Grizzlies

The third point guard is the perennially underrated Mike Conley, who is as clutch as they come. Conley is exceptional at running a team, as he knows when to attack and when to distribute to keep teammates in the game and in rhythm. With the star power around him, Conley would be a great fit as the floor general.

Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat

Wade may be past his prime, but he was dominant when he played for team USA a few tournaments ago. A member of the 2004 and 2006 teams that won bronze, Wade redeemed himself in 2008 by leading the team in scoring en route to the gold medal. He can still get it done in Miami and can be dominant at times. Wade is certainly a stalwart on this team.

Wesley Matthews, Dallas Mavericks

Matthews has a very specific role on this team, and even though he is injured right now, at his peak he was an elite shooter and a lockdown defender. Matthews is rugged and epitomizes toughness, and would be a welcome fit on the perimeter when called upon.

Eric Gordon, New Orleans Pelicans

Gordon also has a specific role, as a knockdown shooter and three-point specialist. With the increased emphasis on the three in the international game, Gordon would be a great fit. He hit the second-most threes and shot the second-highest 3PT % in 2010 as a member of the gold medal winning FIBA World Championship team.

Andre Iguodala, Golden State Warriors

Finally is a guard who plays more like a small forward in Andre Iguodala, the reigning 2014-15 Finals MVP. He is an expert defender and is freakishly athletic, as he showed as a member of the 2010 and 2012 World Championship and Olympic teams, gaining high praise from Coach K.

Forwards

LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers

The best player in the world just so happens to hail from Ohio, putting him in position to lead this team to victory. LeBron has matured over the years to go from bronze in 2004 and 2006 to gold in 2008 and 2012. He has stayed committed to Team USA for so long that a team without him almost seems impossible. With this team, we might see more of him in the future as well.

Anthony Davis, New Orleans Pelicans

Alongside James is perhaps the future greatest player in the world, Anthony Davis. Davis was also on that 2012 team, as the first college player since Emeka Okafor to make the team. In 2014, he broke out in a huge way, leading Team USA to victory. He improves every season and could dominate this competition alongside James in the frontcourt.

Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors

The wing sure is loaded on team Great Lakes, but Draymond Green has earned his spot by being a dogged defender and underrated playmaker. Green can also shoot from range and do the dirty work that helps win games. Perhaps a future call-up to Team USA is in his future, but for now he would be a welcome asset on this team.

Zach Randolph, Memphis Grizzlies

Speaking of dirty work, Zach Randolph makes the team as one of the few true post players. Randolph is a lunch pail kind of guy, who works hard and isn’t afraid to get physical on the inside. Z-Bo is a key player on the Memphis Grizzlies, and would certainly be a welcome addition to this squad.

Gordon Hayward, Utah Jazz

Last but not least is Gordon Hayward, a rising player on the Jazz who was among the final cuts for the 2014 team. Hayward may not see much playing time with this team, but he has proven capable of handling a large role in Utah when called upon.

Just Missed the Cut

Wilson Chandler, Evan Turner, Mason Plumlee, Tony Allen, Iman Shumpert

There is no doubt that Team Great Lakes is one of the frontrunners in this hypothetical tournament. Even without LeBron James and Anthony Davis, this team would be dangerous. Add the quality depth and versatility of this team, and they’d be an extremely tough team to take down. Stay tuned as we keep previewing the different regions to see which team would earn the right to represent Team USA.
