I almost posted it here this morning but deleted it thinking enough had been said on Nneka.

Cohen's take is consistent with mine that Nneka's game has slipped since 2018.

[I]The problem that a lot of Ogwumike's defenders don't want to address is that purely on merit and recent performance, it's relatively easy to argue that she shouldn't be on the roster. Griner, Fowles, Charles, Stewart and Wilson have all been very good in recent times, and Collier already gives them insurance as an extra post if necessary. Nneka hasn't been bad, but her genuinely elite peak years were 2016-17 and she hasn't been quite the same force since. Even this year, before she got hurt, she didn't look like enough of a star to be the No. 1 piece on a contending team. [/I]

I've said the bigger snub was in 2016 when she was coming off a very good 2014 World Cup and was at the top of her game in the WNBA. The world of WBB was too focused on Parker to notice.
