(KSL News) Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer and the rest of Team USA arrived in China today.
As the team works to get back on the gold medal stand, there's good news today: LeBron James was back on the court after spraining an ankle recently.
The U.S. team is anxious to show the world they're better than four years ago in Athens, when they had to settle for bronze.
The team will play its opening game on Aug. 10 against China. That lineup includes Yao Ming.
Last night on SportsBeat Sunday, former Jazz assistant Gordie Chiesa talked about how Boozer and Williams can help team USA.
Of Boozer, Chiesa said, "He'll be a power forward, so he's gotta be able to run the floor and make that open baseline jump shot. The game is much faster in the Olympics because of the running style of play."
As for Williams, Chiesa said, "[He's a] big-time player. He can also play, if he had to, he could play a two guard because of his strength and size."
