And you'd be wrong on both counts.
Boozer just had a breakout year, his numbers are the same as Duncan's, and he is used to a more up tempo style of play which is key in the International game. Plus he is younger, which is a common thread on this team, Kidd aside.
As for KG/Prince besides for the fact that they don't even play the same position, Prince is more of a matchup problem due to his build and reach not to mention he has better outside range. Besides, KG has a pretty crappy series overall against the Lakers while Tayshaun has been resting for the past month. Finally, Boozer and Bosh are already filling the PF role.
If the 2004 Athens team showed anything, it showed that it can't just be an all-star team but it needs to be the best group that can adapt to the international style of play. Personally, I think we are stacked and will be awesome to watch.
