The Olympic Team spots are not for “best WNBA guards.” The position description is much different and includes: knowing how to lead a team of other superstars, playing under international rules, being willing to make the commitment to show up for camps and tournaments other than the Olympics...

I need to weigh in here. Christyn played four years at UConn mostly injury-free. UConn practices are legendarily-brutal and UConn plays more games than almost any other team since they make it to their conference championship and the Final Four every year. Many teams have less talent than...

Was the commissioner taking a dump or does she only announce picks that are in the room?

We’ll-deserved! Am I just missing her on this list or was she not considered even a top-100 recruit? Makes the achievement all the more amazing and just goes to show these rankings, while interesting, are not the final word...

Highlight of the lottery for me tonight! (This aired live on ESPN.). Think our girl was happy with the Pelicans’ pick? :cool::):p;)

The pros have already taken notice of our future superstar! So excited to have this kid join the family.
