Colorado Springs, CO (Sports Network) - Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo was among three players added to the 2010-12 USA Basketball team, chairman Jerry Colangelo announced on Thursday.
Also selected were centers Tyson Chandler of the Dallas Mavericks and Robin Lopez of the Phoenix Suns. USA Basketball opens its 2010 training with a July 19-24 camp in Las Vegas.
"Tyson (Chandler), Robin (Lopez) and Rajon (Rondo) are outstanding additions to the national team and they help give us the talent and depth required in making sure we field the very best USA Basketball teams possible," Colangelo said.
Rondo is coming off a career season with the Eastern Conference champion Celtics, averaging 13.7 points and 9.8 points over 81 regular season games -- all personal bests for the four-year veteran.
Chandler, whom the Mavs acquired earlier in the week in a five-player trade with Charlotte, played in only 51 games this past season and put up just 6.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per contest.
Lopez, in his second season in the league, came into his own with the Suns during the 2009-10 campaign, scoring 8.4 points and grabbing 4.9 boards over 51 games, doubling his production from his rookie year.
