Here's a (medium sized) cheer for Mercedes Russell.
Only 25, she seemed like such a doofus in her UTenn days;
Another product of the god-awful coaching she was subjected to there.
And here she is with two championships under her belt
and really participates; a big body on D...gave Asia trouble all night...
Becoming quite caney and elusive on pick and rolls.
An effective role-player. Real useful to have around.
Actually, pretty smart. And her joy in winning was fun to see.
Good on you, Mercedes!

I read something a while back that I think is still true. The most decorated USA Basketball player in FIBA history, male or female, is Sue Bird. The player who lags behind her but is slightly ahead of her at a comparable age is Breanna Stewart.

It's my biggest take away from the entire series. Who knows how good she would be now if she went anywhere(besides Duke-sorry @CamrnCrz1974 ). Could you imagine what Kim, Geno, Tara, or Muffett could have done for her? She is a very, very good player.

I agree. With those coaches I believe Russell would be outstanding by now. Also, I believe Stewart and Bird will win another championship if Bird does not retire after this season, but it would have to be next season.
While I agree and hope it will happen, the Aces will be even better next year with the return of their missing players. They might well be "a sure bet!"

I think the best teams next year, assuming good health and no major roster changes:
1. Seattle
2. Vegas
3. Washington
4. Minnesota
5. Connecticut

Not me. Once you're on the team, you're almost assured a gold medal. You can't point to any USA gold medal team and say "If this or that player didn't play, they would not have won anyway." Take, for example, Diana Taurasi off of any of her Olympic teams, and they would still have won without her.
