"Oh yeah," Krzyzewski told ESPNChicago.com on Tuesday night.
"There's a process that [USA Basketball chairman] Jerry Colangelo will orchestrate all that.
But it's not just 2016, we have to play in Spain next summer.
It used to be the world championships and now it will be called the World Cup.
And Derrick was our starting point guard when we won the world championships in Istanbul in 2010
and did a really good job.
He was only 21 years old at that time and probably would have been on our Olympic team in London."
"I text him a little bit," Krzyzweski said. "He just celebrated his 25th birthday.
I texted him then and I was glad to hear that he wants to be a part of (the team).
Hopefully this year, injury-wise, coming back from that (knee) injury he'll get even stronger.
And I think it will be good -- I want him to be on the (team), to be in the pool of players, and hopefully be on both teams,
but I also want to give him the opportunity to see how the year goes for him because
there's nothing more important than making sure his career is going in a very positive way
and we're always cognizant of that with the USA basketball program."
Coach K and Jerry Colangelo have done a great job of restoring the importance of USA Basketball.
It means a lot. I know when we were out [in Las Vegas] with the select team, Kevin Durant came by, Kevin Love came by,
and they've committed to playing.
I think it's great because they're the future of our league, and I think they've all enjoyed their experience."
