Olympic Roster

[Fairfield Fan]

Perhaps not the final roster, but an invitation to try out for the national team? Isn't that doable for Paige?

I think there are enough pro guards already in the mix for this year - let her have a few years of seasoning and would expect by the WC or the next Olympics Paige will be in the player pool. She'll have plenty to work on in summer school with her classmates and new arrivals getting a jump on next season.

Wilson for sure because of Dawn.

Wilson for sure because of Dawn.

And because she's one of the best players in the world? She did just win WNBA MVP.

Is that the final 3x3 roster?

The 3 x 3 Qualifying is the last days of May, in Austria. USA has to finish in Top 3 to make Olympics. Olympics begin 7/23. So unless there is another camp, during WNBA season, I would think it is final. Injuries could also change things too.

Very cool.

Have no idea what happened to Phesa. She played, on Sunday, for her French League team. Unless she will be on the 5 x 5 team?

Napheesa Collier (Minnesota Lynx/Connecticut/O’Fallon, Mo.), who was named to the team in February 2020, no longer is able to participate

Katie Lou Samuelson Added to USA 3x3 Olympic Qualifying Tournament Team

Katie Lou Samuelson and her USA Basketball teammates will compete at the May 26-30 FIBA 3x3 Olympic Qualifying Tournament, where an Olympic berth will go to the top three teams.

I expect Phee will be on the 5 x 5 team.

Napheesa and Sabrina have very good chance to be on the team. Paige, Clark and a few others may be invited to training camp to give them exposure.

The Olympics are a one-off, very special experience. I would prefer if players such as Bird and Taurasi step aside and let someone else have the opportunity.
