Team USA has 16 players on its current roster and needs to get down to 12, so there is another round of cuts on the horizon. 

Based on playing time and general involvement, assumptions can be made about which players will be let go. Andre Drummond will be among the players released with the next cut, according to the Detroit Free Press

Drummond did not play in USA Basketball's scrimmage against Brazil and is considered the teams 15th player, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.com. The team will be down to 12 players in time for the Basketball World Cup in Spain, which kicks off on Aug. 30. 

It appears that Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins are the front-runners to man the center position, while Mason Plumlee also has garnered more playing time than Drummond.
