Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2231301, member: 199"] That is why I said I understood what you were saying, and I agree that you cannot assume anything with regard to the NT though I think the evaluation of the team pool is a process that does look to identify that willingness. And I think most people on this board felt that the Parker situation for the 2016 team was exactly related to how she had handled the situation in the past (not an assumption but a historical reference.) I don't want to open that can of worms again but it is the obvious example with respect to the NT. The other aspect is most people do focus on offensive skills when evaluating who should and shouldn't be selected, while USA really does focus a lot of evaluation on defense as well. I actually think the selections of Sims over Diggins had nothing to do with Griner and a lot to do with defensive intensity. [/QUOTE]
