Some very notable players not on this list. Are players like Aka, Pheesa and Stewie exempt from this camp and just passed on to the next round or the final roster?

I think this team will play in the 2026 World Cup, which many of the top veterans will skip. Stewie, Wilson, Pheesa and others will likely be back for the 2028 Olympics in LA.

Pretty nice list of top level talent. Good blend of young players with the vets.

2024 Olympians

5 in this group: Young, Gray, Copper, Plum, Griner
4 Aja, Stewie, Pheesa, Ionescu likely back
2 A Thomas, Loyd?
1 Diana no

 

[Gael]

Think of Paige as a youngster? Eight of the other 17 are younger than Paige.

I think this is more of a talent identification camp than anything. UCLA doesn't have a game in that stretch so Betts was able to get pulled in, same with Juju.

The W will be taking a break for the World Cup in September, and with USA Basketball being a little more serious, I think we see vets playing in it. Would not be a good luck to lose the World Cup to France going into the Olympics.

I think the top vets sit out for the American qualifiers in March, but we'll see what happens.
