Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 4772800, member: 2117"] Agree regarding Sue, though I don’t think you can fault USA after she was so good for so long and such a respected player and leader. They also expected to have Gray and SDS available this cycle, but if Gray has a torn Achilles she might not be ready to play and SDS/Taurasi are oil and water which means SDS is probably out. With all of their politics, I am guessing USA basketball will prioritize giving Diana a 6th gold over giving a younger player an opportunity. Honestly though USA is fine regardless of who is on the roster. They could create a USA-B and USA-C team and our country would finish with gold/silver/bronze. The depth of talent in the USA is so much deeper than anywhere else in the world and they can afford to pick and choose who they want on the roster without risking to lose the gold medal. There also isn’t another powerful basketball country like Russia or Australia in the 00s who had talent capable of upsetting the US. [/QUOTE]
