Dwyane Wade expects Tyson Chandler to start at center for Team USA in this summer's London Olympics.

"Absolutely," Wade said. "We watched Tyson, the things that he does, his ability to cover so much on the basketball court, from the three-point line to the rim. He's phenomenal."

"And especially the style of play in the Olympics is a little different. The style is not necessarily post-up, post-up, post-up. It's more so of having a big guy down there, someone who can defend, someone who can rebound, someone who can catch and finish. So he brings that to the team."

Chandler has international experience, having helped the United States win the gold medal in the 2010 FIBA World Championships.
