Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5338856, member: 7511"] One of the concerns I have with Olympic team selections, particularly on the women's side, is that there is a clear bias towards older players based on their career achievements. DT remains the G.O.A.T. But imo she should not have taken a roster spot this past Olympics. Bring her along as an assistant coach. But give that spot to a younger player who you can develop for the future. The next summer games are in 3 years. I absolutely expect Paige and CC to be on that team. Sarah would also be a possibility, particularly if she's coming off her 4th straight national championship. But it may well be time for players like Griner and even Stewie, who would be 34 in 2028, to sit out the Olympics in favor of younger, more athletic players. [/QUOTE]
