The Law of Unintended Consequences kicks in Probably eliminates Dolson from the USA roster. Maybe Lavender, too.

Russia has some size. Team USA may still want another post player besides Charles if Griner is unable to play.

I see no way that we only keep one true center. What would happen if Charles were unable to play. IMO, Lavender has secured a spot on the team, along with Nneka.

Russia is not in the field of 16. There's a team from Belarus, but not Russia. In another thread
I asked if anyone knew what happened to Russia and didn't get a reply, so it's a mystery to me.

They didn't qualify in the 2013 Eurobasket Tournament. They were last in their pool, and didn't advance past the first round. Only the top 5 finishers qualified for the 2014 World Championships.

From the article I read (it was mostly about Epiphanny Prince, who plays for them) it appears that Russian Women's Basketball is not in a happy place.

I think that dates back 2 or 4 years when Sveta was left out - appeared there was a lot of politics and a pretty big rift developing in the management of the National teams.
