MIES, Switzerland - The U.S. men's basketball team, the reigning Olympic champions, will have to "come to play" at the Paris Games where hosts France will be eager to dethrone the 16-times gold medal winners, former NBA star Carmelo Anthony said on Tuesday.

The United States will face a strong Serbia team, first-time Olympians South Sudan and the winners of a qualifying tournament in Puerto Rico in July in the Olympic tournament's Group C after the draw was made at the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) headquarters in Switzerland.
