Message: [QUOTE="From Canada, post: 5048672, member: 12092"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fiba.basketball/en/events/fiba-u17-womens-basketball-world-cup-2024/teams/spain/346841-sara-okeke[/URL] I'm not sure what to make of the selection of Spain's great athletic player Sara Okeke on the first all-star team. Her first 5 games were excellent, she even had a quarter-final against Ausralie with 28 pts, 10 reb and a fantastic Efficiency statistic of 33.0. But just when it mattered most, she completely collapsed. In the semi-finals, she had a game of just 4 pts, 4 reb and a meagre 4.0 Efficiency, against Canada. She had the chance to bounce back in the bronze-medal match, which her country went on to win, but she couldn't, with just 2 pts, 1 reb and a disastrous -6.0 Efficiency. I understand that Spain won the bronze medal, as she is without doubt the best player in her team and a very talented athlete. FIBA is making an effort to be as fair as possible in its choices, but I'm not sure what message it's sending. It would have been easy to swap with teammate Ines Garcia Monje, who was named to the second all-star team.
