Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 5016269, member: 6620"] Given who has been playing for the U.S. in various competitions, this isn't that much of a surprise. As the attached ESPN article says: "Brink, Burdick and Van Lith won gold at the 2023 FIBA 3x3 World Cup -- where Brink took home MVP -- while Burdick also won gold at the 2014 World Championship for 3x3. All four recently played in the FIBA 3x3 Women's Series Springfield Stop -- where Canada beat USA to win the event -- and have other 3x3 and 5x5 experience with USA Basketball." Howard had been called up for stints with the U.S.A. 5x5 team. This appointment to the 3x3 team seems to confirm that she wasn't viewed as making that full-court team, but would make an excellent addition to the half-court game, much like her current Atlanta Dream teammate Alisha Gray was in 2021 in Tokyo. (In fact, Gray may be in competition for one of those 5x5 slots, as I type.)
