I'll get the popcorn ready that way we can analyze every high five, and pass/non pass between the two of them.

We'll prob never know how the selection process unfolded but the absence of Shepard, Tash, and Mitchell are peculiar.

Shepard and Tash I can sort of understand.
Phee, Stewie, and A'ja were pretty much guaranteed spots if they wanted them so that filled up a lot of the front court spots already.

I'd be curious on Mitchell. IIRC she didn't go to the Team USA camps this Spring. So I'd assume she turned them down. Because i don't know why Team USA would invite Rae Burrell, amongst others, over Kelsey.

Personally I'd drop Angel for either Shepard or Tash. Phee Stewie and A'ja make sense.

Drop Grey, Rhyne, or Young for Mitchell.

WHY IS CLARK NOT THE FIRST PICTURE????

Yep, Shepard for Angel seems like a no brainer....

Maybe she wants to focus on her PhD. Not sure why else she wouldn’t be included.

My guess is as long as she can maintain this rate of play (and if she's even interested) she'll be in line for a spot on the '28 Olympic team.

The process is different than your typical All-Star team selection.
