Kyrie Irving will start at point guard for Team USA in the final exhibition game against Slovenia on Tuesday night.

Mike Krzyzewski revealed that alternating Irivng and Derrick Rose at starting point guard is one option under consideration throughout the World Cup, which starts on Saturday.

"We'll see as thing goes on," Krzyzewski said after Monday's two-hour practice. "We might alternate 'em. Both of them are going to play significant minutes."

Rose and Irving could also play minutes together, as Rose continues to acclimate himself to full-speed basketball.

"I asked him today, and he said, 'I feel great,'" Krzyzewski said of Rose. "He did everything. He's full go. I think there's a part of him that's like: 'Quit asking me how I feel. I'm good.' So I'm not going to ask him anymore."

The USA Basketball National Team announced the 12 players who will represent the United States at the 2014 FIBA (International Basketball Federation) Basketball World Cup that is being held Aug. 30-Sept. 14 in Spain.

Named as members of the official 2014 USA Basketball World Cup Team were: DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento Kings); Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors); Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans); DeMar DeRozan (Toronto Raptors); Andre Drummond (Detroit Pistons); Kenneth Faried (Denver Nuggets); Rudy Gay (Sacramento Kings); James Harden (Houston Rockets); Kyrie Irving (Cleveland Cavaliers); Mason Plumlee (Brooklyn Nets); Derrick Rose (Chicago Bulls); and Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors).

Damian Lillard, Chandler Parsons, Kyle Korver and Gordon Hayward were left off the World Cup roster.

"Since taking over the USA Basketball Men's National Team program in 2005, this was without doubt the most difficult selection process we've gone through," Jerry Colangelo said in a statement. "I can't stress enough the outstanding effort and commitment that has been given by each finalist. I also want to make it clear that this is not just about talent -- each player is incredibly talented and each player offered us unique skills. In the end it was about assembling the best team, selecting guys who we felt would be able to best play the kind of style we envision this team playing."

"The first thing is we are very pleased with the overall effort of every player who was a part of the process," said Mike Krzyzewski, USA head coach and Duke University's Naismith Hall of Fame mentor. "To select twelve was difficult, because our pool is so good. As we go forward, we not only go forward as twelve, we go forward as a pool for USA Basketball. As a staff we want to thank the players who are not going forward.

"I'm excited about the 12 players selected and feel we have excellent versatility and the makings of a really good defensive team."

Kevin Durant is poised to withdraw from Team USA heading into the World Cup trip to Spain.

The reason is not related to Paul George's injury in last Friday's exhibition game.

USA Basketball said Durant withdrew due to mental and physical exhaustion.

Team USA cut John Wall, Bradley Beal and Paul Millsap from its roster on Monday, according to sources.

Team USA's roster is beginning to form for the World Cup later this month.
