I heard Lisa talk about how she thought Parker should be on the team, but I didn't hear her name which player she thought shouldn't be on the team.

It's surprising that she would compare Griner and Parker because we saw in 2012 how Parker (among others) was completely unable to handle Cambage in the first half of that game. Parker has the height but simply lacks the physicality to match up with a world-class physical 5 player on Cambage's level.

She said "like BG and a few others."

I agree with paragraph two of your post. BG will most likely be the only player the US has that will be able to match up with Cambabe in single coverage. BG is going to have to watch her hands and arms because she has a tendency to get her arms tangled with the opponent's arms at the waist, resulting in both players aggressively pulling their arms out of that entanglement and the defensive usually gets called for the foul. That has happened to her a lot this year.

You're right; I just went back and listened to that part of the broadcast. Well, Lisa hasn't been the only one lately to single out Griner as a/the player they wish Candace would replace, citing her relatively lackluster play thus far in the WNBA season. How fickle they are, because just 3 months ago when the team was announced, most of the Candace devotees were calling for Breanna Stewart to be christened as the World's Most Undeserving Olympian.

I do hope that Griner can regain some of the form that made her one of the standouts in the World Championships two years ago.

I wish Charles or Catchings would mentor BG during the Olympics. The US can probably win the Olympics if BG didnt play at all. If that is what it takes to make her play harder and, quite ftankly, take her career more seriously then so be it. At this point Parker would have been a better choice for now but BG will be needed in future Olympics. This is part of the "buliding for the future" process, I guess.
