Wanna know what's funny? Melo starting over Kevin Durant.
I never knew Coach K had such a sense of humor!

hmm interesting maybe K is trying to come up with some strategy, just tinkering with the lineups in exhibition play, if the US does lose its Melos fault

Read an article on that the other day.
Reasoning is that it allows Durant, Westbrook and Harden to come off the bench as a unit. Truth be told the USA is screwed if the starting small forward is the difference between Gold and anything else.
Also, while Melo is a bit of a , he's consistently represented the USA for almost a decade now and there's something to be said for rewarding loyalty and consistently showing up.
