I don't know that Chiney underperformed. We'll see how she does without her sister. I expect her to be more assertive and to be working really hard over the summer. Like Nneka 2 years ago, Chiney is not ready for the Olympics as a soph/junior-to-be. Projecting out, I see the Olympics as a real possibility, whether in 2016 or 2020. My point is that it's a projection over multiple years. Nneka is much, much closer to ready. Who knows? In 2 years, Chiney may be better than Nneka is now, though Nneka has set the bar very, very high.
I meant she underperformed in F4 games due to foul trouble. She is working very hard this summer. I'm sure you saw she recently made the USA Basketball 3x3 National Team that will compete at the inaugural FIBA 3x3 World Championship in Athens (with Diggins, Hartley and Alyssa Thomas).
