UConn with 5 out of 12 on the team. Well done Sue, Dee, Tina, Stewie and Phee.
Atkins was the only surprise for me. 6 guards seems like 1 too much.The others are Ariel Atkins, Skylar Diggins-Smith, Sylvia Fowles, Chelsea Gray, Brittney Griner, Jewell Lloyd and A’ja Wilson.
Any surprises for you with this roster?

Griner wasn't very impressive in the games I've seen her. Has she been better lately?

Skylar and Griner have been the only thing keeping Phoenix afloat.
Griner is one of the best basketball players in the world when she wants to be — hopefully she’ll want to be at the Olympics.Griner wasn't very impressive in the games I've seen her. Has she been better lately?
With the amount of "ELITE" talent the US will take to Tokyo, there's no way they come back with anything other than gold. IMHO, all of the other countries in this year's field are playing for second place. The envelopes say that once again, the USA goes undefeated during this year's games. No other country can match the amount of talent (and veteran leadership) up and down the roster that the US has. The players will listen to Dawn. They will also listen to Sue and Dee, as they are the two most respected veteran players on the team. Call them "E.F. Hutton". Sue and Dee will lead by example!!UConn with 5 out of 12 on the team. Well done Sue, Dee, Tina, Stewie and Phee.
I think it's hard to leave a 6'8" person off. Even if just for protection against other teams. You want to have as many different 'looks' as possible in case another team plays bonkers.Griner wasn't very impressive in the games I've seen her. Has she been better lately?

Also there was no way Stewie wasnt making the 16 team. CP's absence freed up space for someone else.UConn Blog article
Shame on the writer for the following:
"... while Stewart will head to her second as one of the first names on the roster after being a surprise, controversial choice in 2016 when then-USA head coach Geno Auriemma took her over Candace Parker."
Why yes, let's perpetuate the incorrect fact that Geno picked the team. It was the USAWBB committee.
Bad journalism.
It freed up space for EDD to make her first Olympic team and for Catch to have an Olympic swan song.Also there was no way Stewie wasnt making the 16 team. CP's absence freed up space for someone else.
Is that official?Dont forget Dolson and Lou on the 3 x 3 team, so 7 UConn players are going to Tokyo.
