and 1.1 assists in 72 regular-season games with the Bulls. He is

Australia.
The USA Goodwill Games Team, coached by Minnesota's Flip
Saunders, also includes Shane Battier of the Memphis Grizzlies,
Calvin Booth and Rashard Lewis of the Seattle SuperSonics, Baron Davis of the Charlotte Hornets, Shawn Marion of the Phoenix Suns;
Kenyon Martin of the New Jersey Nets; Andre Miller of the Cleveland
Cavaliers; Mike Miller of the Orlando Magic; Jermaine O'Neal of the
