Message: [QUOTE="Jimbo, post: 4029385, member: 6751"] Look, I love Paige. I think Paige is the future. If Paige continues on her current trajectory and is healthy in '24, I don't see her being left off the team—other superstars have been Olympic reserves at a similar point in their careers. But, if you're expecting Paige to jump right in and be Team USA's [I]starting[/I] PG in her very first Olympics at age 22, imho you are expecting a LOT. I just don't see it. I'm not sure what the answer is. Assuming Sue and Diana are done, at the moment Loyd and Gray seem like the favorites to take over in the backcourt. If Diggins were the heir apparent, I think we'd have seen more of her in Tokyo. Atkins is younger and may have a better shot; tbh I haven't seen enough of her. I still find myself hoping Ionescu can work her way back into being a factor. Maybe Plum or A. Gray comes over from the 3x3 team. Also, nobody's yet mentioned the reigning WNBA rookie of the year, who played her share of USA Basketball growing up. Any chance they give Crystal a look? [/QUOTE]
