Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4364765, member: 6620"] (From U.S.A. Basketball release attached below) "USA Basketball announced today the rosters for the 2022 USA Basketball Men’s and Women’s 3x3 U23 Nations League Teams. Both teams will go through training camp Aug. 9-11 before competing in the fifth edition of the FIBA 3x3 Nations League, playing within the Americas conference in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, from Aug. 13-19." "Each team is comprised of six athletes who bring a combination of USA Basketball (five-on-five and 3x3) and collegiate basketball experience. "The USA Basketball 2022 3x3 U23 Women’s Nations League Team includes [B]Aaliyah[/B] [B]Moore (Texas)[/B], [B]Maddy[/B] [B]Siegrist (Villanova)[/B],[B] Celeste[/B] [B]Taylor (Duke)[/B], [B]Alyssa[/B] [B]Ustby (UNC)[/B], [B]Kayla[/B] [B]Wells (Texas A&M) [/B]and [B]Maddy[/B] [B]Westbeld (Notre Dame)[/B]." [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.usab.com/news-events/news/2022/08/3x3-u23-nations-league-rosters.aspx[/URL] Celeste Taylor is a familiar name, having played on multiple U.S.A. teams throughout the years and Kayla Wells has been a 3x3 vet. Westbeld, although a forward, is the tallest member of the squad at 6'3". She has an inside-out game that should match well with 3x3. I don't remember six-person squads (remembering the 4-person team in the Olympics). Is this new or do "junior teams" have more players? [/QUOTE]
