Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 2787523, member: 6485"] I tend to agree with what you said. I don't mention international experience as being a requisite because players have made the team without it before and performed quite well. I agree the job is to put together the best team to win gold and that's by picking the most deserving players. We also all know the US has more than 12 players who are more than capable of being on the roster so inevitably someone deserving gets left out. What I've said about Augustus and Angel and their own terms is due to their commitment over multiple cycles and the fact they still good contributors on their teams just means maybe that should be given some consideration when making a final decision. I agree they've had their turn but don't believe a player should be forced out if they want to play and willingly accept whatever role they are given. The start of the topic was how most of the major stars these days are post players and pointing out the US should utilize the relatively young guards to help carry the load after Bird and Taurasi retire, which will happen. All the names that have been thrown around appear like they would be good choices for the team. It was discussed [/QUOTE]
