Yeah lobo has had a great commentator career imio it overshadows her professional career. She was great for us we literally need to build her a statue but after injury her WNBA Career never matched the hype unfortunately . I think Boston's will .
Who makes USA Roster for FIBA World Cup? (Sept. 22-Oct. 1)
- Thread starter bbsamjj
- Start date
People should just stop trying to compare players to Stewie, A'ja, and EDD. We have been very lucky to have 3 players with that type of talent come along in such a short time.
They have to come up with enough players for an intrasquad scrimmage on September 10th in Vegas:

Chelsea Gray was on the Olympic team that just won gold. I would think she’ll be on this team. I think Sabrina will be added as well.

Training camp is 9/6-9/12.
So by Sept. 6th, you're looking at Game 4 of the WNBA semifinals. Game 5, if necessary, is Sept. 8th. [if the seeds hold, that's CT vs Chi and LV vs SEA).
So you have players from at least two teams who wouldn't be available until the world cup starts pretty much. They'll take Wilson/Plum/Stewart/Loyd whenever they can get them, but this might favor players who have the time to be there for training camp.

Hey there's a Boston Peak in the North Cascades here in Washington. I haven't climbed it, but I've traversed right below it, and I've climbed its next door neighbor Sahale Peak.

McCoughtry? That's an odd one and I would be shocked if she made it but stranger things have happened.
The invitee list is......interesting. Not bad players at all but some who have skills I am less than a fan of an don't really scream National Team. Maybe I'm just spoiled.
The 5 returners will probably be locks and so will EDD if she wants/is able to go. It gets more interesting after that.

Yup! She is clearly the center of the future. At this World Cup though, I expect to see Stewie at the 4 and Wilson at the 5.

Well, there is a gaping hole in that position for USAB and has been since Maya walked away from the game, and her back up, Angel, has been injured. Stewie played the 3 at the Olympics last year, but that's not her position.
It's an odd choice, but I bet it's her experience at her position that will help out in camp as I doubt she will make the team.
To me, Clark, like Arike, don't have the game that works for the international game. They are so ball dominant that it hurts the flow of the offense. Last year Clark was the MVP of whatever she played in, but she was sort of a ball hog and a chucker in the games I watched.
And this isn't a knock on Clark, but that's her game.

If Chicago makes it to the finals, I'd be surprised if Copper makes the team, because why have someone show up as the tournament starts at a position where you can have A. Gray/R. Howard/A. Powers etc. On the same token, if CT makes the finals, are you going to save a spot for B. Jones when you could have Howard or Dolson or Boston?
In a "positive" for team USA, both Seattle and Vegas can't make the finals. I think the only players that are locked whenever they can make it or are Stewart, Loyd, Wilson, C. Gray, K. Plum. MAYBE J. Young and EDD (if she can do it with her health).

Well, that includes being MVP of the U19 tournament, where she led the team in scoring and assists (39 assists to 17 turnovers in 7 games).
I do wonder what Clark would be like as a 2 guard with a real PG next to her. I'm thinking of how Ionescu's game really seemed to take off this year when they starter Dangerfield at PG. Ionescu still does a ton of the ball handling/playmaking, but it frees her up more to be a pure scorer.
You might find out this year. Iowa snagged a fantastic PG transfer in Molly Davis.

I just didn't see Angel ever making an appearance for the national team again or even the WNBA due to her age/injury issues, it's nothing against her. I will say she wasn't my favorite player but performed better on the national team than I expected.
Small forward has been lacking for the team especially with Collier (understandably) not being in the fold. I suspect she was asked but turned it down to be with her family.
I said earlier the 5 returnees plus EDD will make it if they want. I also think Boston, Plum, Ionescu, and A. Gray get in. Beyond that I can't predict.

I don't know about Arike, but Clark has extensive experience playing FIBA rules and competition. She's been on several gold medal FIBA teams already over the years. What you see at Iowa hasn't been how she's played when representing the US.
This is a big reason I think a lot of people think Clark is ball dominant (I'm guilty of it too). Clark has had to be the primary ball handler. The addition of Molly Davis from Central Michigan will help. I have more faith in Davis than some of the current starters from Iowa's roster in a PG role.
As of now, Angel actually cannot make it, but I suspect they extended an invitation to her because she has had good attendance at recent training camps and she might as well try to prove that she can still play to try to get a shot somewhere next season.

I'm confused about that because you'd think a player of that caliber (regardless of her age) being banned from international competition would have at least one news article about the why...but I can't find any. Or am I being dense?
I think that it is pretty recent. I check that page pretty often and have not see her or Sant-Roos listed in that section before Wednesday. FIBA is pretty behind on posting the arbitration cases that the current sanctions stem from, but presumably she owes money to a former club.

FIBA will release more at some point, but it seems likely to be when she signed for Turkey's Galatasaray in 2021 and then left. Presumably they took her to arbitration and she lost so she owes them some money. Erlana Larkins no-showed a contract and the resulting judgment basically ended her professional career after her she had no WNBA offers as she would have had to pay to clear up the issue and sign with a team outside of the United States. Teams threaten this when players leave unilaterally, but it is pretty rare for it to go all the way unless there is serious money involved. This past season, Gyor threatened Aari McDonald and Tenerife threatened Megan Walker and multiple other players.
Seems unlikely if she already signed a contract with them.
That group has no chance of winning the Fiba Championship in Australia.
I believe this is just the list of everyone that is not is currently in the semifinals.
