Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4395448, member: 6620"] Agree with both of you that the team that goes to Paris may be quite different from the one we saw in Sydney. Due to the pandemic, the Olympics were pushed back to 2021. Factor in the administrative/coaching switches and short(er) time frame between the Olympics and the World Cup, this team was put together on the fly. The five players that stick for me are Stewie, Wilson, Thomas, Gray and Plum, with Jewell -- even with several no-shows on offense -- in mind. However, lots of opportunity for some players who were backups (Jones, Ionescu) and those who didn't make the team and/or didn't even get invites. One of the areas I'd like to see a net cast is outside shooting -- namely some sharpshooters who can come in and stretch team defenses. That said, great job by all concerned here. Well done. [/QUOTE]
