    Gregg Popovich will get started on his preparations for the 2020 Olympics when he oversees the Select Team of young players that will train against this year's U.S. basketball team.
    USA Basketball named 25 players who will make up that roster Tuesday and said Popovich, the Spurs coach who will succeed Mike Krzyzewski as U.S. national coach, will lead the squad.
    The team will work against the Americans during their training camp in Las Vegas in July.
    Popovich will be assisted by Jay Wright of national champion Villanova and Spurs assistant Ime Udoka.
