Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 5020399, member: 6620"] Regarding the 5x5: [LIST] [*]Yes, there really many slots once the DT decision was firmed up. At one point, Ionescu might've been a bit iffy, but she has World Cup experience; can play multiple roles, has played more like "Sabrina" recently and has a bit of the "it" factor. [*]If one bases a "taxi squad" on recent performance, the player I'd look at is Kayla McBride, who has been on a tear in the Euros and, now, the WNBA. She's shooting high 40s overall and if anyone knows how to play her role on team, she's it. [*]BTW, I'd include Marina Mabrey on that list, too, who is right in the middle of so many of those wings statistically and has not shied away defensively, as well. Plus, she's another multi-faceted guard. [/LIST] 3x3: - Many articles have stated the 5x5 committee favored experience. Well, if that's the case, how does Gray -- who only has a gold medal from Tokyo -- not make the 3x3 roster along with/instead of her Atlanta Dream colleague, Rhyne Howard? And I'm still not sure of the Van Lith appointment. I think there's a heavy degree of wish fulfillment going on with that committee. Hope I'm wrong, but we'll see... [/QUOTE]
