USA Basketball released its minicamp roster Thursday afternoon and Bulls star Jimmy Butler is one of 34 players selected to head to Las Vegas.

But Derrick Rose was not one of the 26 returning players as the Bulls point guard was left off the roster.

Butler joins Harrison Barnes, Michael Carter-Williams, Mike Conley, Draymond Green, Tobias Harris, DeAndre Jordan and Victor Oladipo as new members to the 2014-16 USA National Team roster.

LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry highlight the 26 returning players.

Team USA now features four players from the Golden State Warriors (Green, Curry, Barnes and Klay Thompson), three from the Cleveland Cavaliers (LeBron, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love) and three from the Los Angeles Clippers (Jordan, Blake Griffin, Chris Paul). Butler is the only Bulls player on the roster.

Former Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau will serve as an assistant coach to Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, who will head up the USA Basketball coaching staff.

if rose didnt make the cut we are so fucked. this guy has had enough time to put down the skittles and learn how to jump again. my guess is he still cant jump and never got that good at shooting.

I don't think it is a sign of Rose's current ability but rather there are so many great NBA guards better right now.

but it is though. rose was the best guard in the league before he got hurt. that wasnt a perception either... watch the old film.. that guy was unbelievable. we dont even have 80% of whatever that was. hes just a guy now. 80% of mvp rose would have still made the team.
