The score is tied with 15 seconds on the game clock. You give the ball to a player just inside the half court line. She must score herself on a shot or free throw, or make only one pass to a teammate for a score. Her teammates clear out and the defense reacts accordingly. Whom do you pick?

If you prefer someone not on the list, name her.

After the Lynx first and last games against the Sparks this season, I’ll say Lynx-killer Chelsea Gray.

Fudd & Carter make the list but Ionescu doesn't?

[ClayK]

So the classic look is usually called "Flat," with four players spaced out on the baseline, and the chosen one with the ball at the top of the key ...

I can't really choose between Cynthia Cooper and Diana Taurasi so I have to pass on the vote -- and I also give a nod to the inclusion to Azzi Fudd, named for, yes, that Azzi, and a high school sophomore.

I never saw Azzi Fudd play, but I voted for her anyway. Mainly because I like the fact that she was named after Jennifer Azzi. Also, both of her parents played hoops (Katie Smrcka-Duffy Fudd is a former Sacramento Monarchs draft pick), and her last name reminds me of Elmer Fudd.

I love Seimone like crazy...but she has to be my second choice. Taurasi is the one you give the ball to in that situation.

That's not exactly how I'd run it, but I like my chances with Die Bitches.

I would go with DT one of my favs of all time.

But let's not forget there were a couple of seasons in PX when with DT on the floor that shot went to Cappie.

[Colerr]

Swoopes.

I don't remember Taurasi being involved in "clear out and I will go one on one" situations. Seems like screens are always involved. She dribbles around one and takes a three, or she runs around one and takes a pass and shoots a three.

[Richyyy]

[J-Spoon]

I agree that DT is probably the GOAT

but going back to Cappie and the clear out there was a year in NY when WIZ was the coach and the 4th quarter offense was give the ball to Cappie, she will do something one and one and score, or maybe pass but not likely (even though she averaged over 4 assists per game that season. Sometimes it wasn't even give the ball to Cappie because she was the one who would dribble it up the court. And even though everyone knew what was going to happen it was still surprisingly effective.

[GlennMacGrady]

If we wanted an All Clear-Out Team with all five positions filled with vote getters, it would seem to be:

1 - Bird
2 - Taurasi
3 - Swoopes
4 - EDD
5 - LJ

Yeah, I'd like that as a coach.

I voted DT. Give her 15 seconds and an option to take the shot or pass, the odds are pretty good that DT wins that game. It may be her own basket or a teammate, she won't care which.

The pass was the deciding factor for me. DT and Bird would make the pass over taking the shot if there was an open player with good odds of making the basket. And they would be able to see that and understand the situation. Most of the rest on that list wouldn't pass but would take the shot themselves, even with an open player and double team. Many would make it, EDD, Seimone, and Stewart being the most likely. (I don't know the college players so I can't say what I think they would do.)

The free throw would never be a factor. Our "officials" wouldn't make the call if the player was physically thrown to the floor and spurting blood.

With or without the pass, Cappie (in her prime), with that much time, would be a top contender. She would never use the pass but would be effective. IMO, the odds go up with a player who will pass.

Take away the pass and put 3 seconds on the clock and DeWanna Bonner would have to be considered as a viable option.
