Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 5339534, member: 2117"] Thomas will be 36 by the next Olympics. Her style of play requires her to be ball dominant to be effective offensively, she has no range outside of 12-15 feet as a 6-2 point forward. It works for her well in the WNBA because the entire offense is build around her, but that wont be the case if Clark/Bueckers are in the lineup in 2028. She also wasn't particularly effective in 2024, I don't see that improving in 2028. Griner shouldn't be in consideration if this past season is any indication. She'll be almost 38 and has been declining for a while. She isn't the defensive presence she just was despite having the physical attributes. I'd much rather see A'ja Wilson manning the center spot and have a younger player like Aliyah Boston, Cameron Brink and Angel Reese come in off the bench. Also in regards to the part about opposing teams having 6'8 or 6'9 players, who else is out there aside from Zhang Ziyu (7'3) of China that's 6'6+ and a potential problem for the US? [/QUOTE]
