Charles looking like she should be benched. Terrible shot selection. She's acting like she does as THE stud for NY.

The most underappreciated thing about those players (and I'll even give credit here to Moore, whom I loathe) in international play, is their ability to settle into a role, for the sake of the team. Something I've always disliked about the way USAB builds their rosters is a distinct lack of players who are effective without the ball in their hands. Honestly, the team could stand to have a couple fewer Delle Donnes and Charleses, and a couple more Quigleys and Howards. |
I take it that you do no t like ball dominant players?
Like say Westbrook

Hugely agree, moving without the ball is so important, can't be a real team without it.

To be fair, she was cooking her defenders at the beginning of the game. I thought it was good they went back to her after hitting a lull offensively.

One of the reasons I'm not sure how Skylar would do as the PG for USA.

She looked very quick on that one drive. Reeve could get her Howard back. 🤔 |
She looks like she would be a good college player, but pro? not yet.

Ok all of you "EXPERTS".
Who will win???
The Kangaroo Raiders or the The Cowgirls?
Yesterday was The Kangaroo Riders lowest point total @ 72.
Today, they may not score 60. Team USA can turn this into a
rout, the best The Kangaroo Riders can hope to achieve is a
1 or 2 point win by the skin of their teeth.

Is this just the result of three games in three days?

Lauren Jackson said that Team USA could not stop her, really?

Probably. Cambage looks tired, but she's also facing someone that can actually guard her. Several players on both teams looking tired.

I love ball-dominant players; I just don't want to see eight of them on the same team.
