Message: [QUOTE="bbsamjj, post: 3272326, member: 1738"] I agree that this is kind of a silly thread, on a UConn board no less. However, I'm sure Dawn Staley would LOVE to have Courtney Vandersloot as an option at PG right now for team USA. Vandersloot, who is 7-8 years younger than Bird and Whalen, kind of got stuck behind them in a USA basketball sense, and then decided to become a Hungarian citizen to have a chance at becoming an Olympian. She is not the first great WNBA player (see: Becky Hammon, Kristi Toliver) to make this move, as USA basketball, for whatever reason, sometimes just misses on players who are very worthy of at least having tryouts (Katie Douglas and Vicki Johnson appear top of mind).
