Message: [QUOTE="Rb335, post: 3994254, member: 2685"] When you look at the roster, Atkins is the one who really stands out to me. If you had said she would be on an olympic roster during her days at Texas, I would have confidently wagered my life savings that she wouldn't. Great growth in her game since getting to the W, and cool to see her rewarded. I get the anti Connecticut sentiment found on social media/the web. I can't see any way Charles and Stewart didn't make the team, based on their current WNBA seasons. Same with Sue, who has looked like the best PG, despite her age. The wing is the thinnest position in the W, and Collier is as good of a choice as anyone. I do think the Taurasi selection is mainly loyalty based. She hasn't looked amazing this season, and is injured. So if anyone was to be omitted, it should have been her. But the olympics in three years will feature a very different roster than what we've been seeing. Way too early to tell, but it could be as drastic as this, seeing a huge youth movement for the next generation. Ionescu/Diggins Smith/ Bueckers Loyd/Clark Delle-Donne/Collier/Howard Stewart/Wilson Griner/Boston For now, I will sit back and enjoy watching our huskies compete in both 5x5 and 3x3. Cool that Samuelson and collier will experience the olympics together. [/QUOTE]
