You keep saying didn’t show up. It wasn’t like she blew it off. She was playing
In the final four. And yet everyone else is biased?
I mean, I guess you can just keep doing it. Unlikely to lead to productive discussions but I guess you don’t want that.

Caitlin Clark being left off team USA shows the cattiness of the WNBA

I don’t care about business or viewership, pick the best players. Period.

This is the right answer. It would have been even worse for her if she was

Not when you’re trying to grow the game, then it’s a dumb move

If they had tryouts and she missed like stated below then I take it back

If you don't want the jealousy against Clark to grow, don't treat her different.

I could not care less about the jealousy against Clark! Anyone JEALOUS of Clark

Why do you believe she is the future of the sport?
Archaea

she is the most popular women’s basketball player to ever
Endocoug

Being popular doesn’t make you the future
Archaea

It makes "no" sense leaving her off? What's the rationale for her being a top 12

She is THE (#1) most popular female basketball player ever

The olympics are not about popularity. That's where we disagree. If it was,

Exactly, are you chosing the best players or the most popular players

She’s not remotely the top 12 US female in bbal?? I beg to differ
ABN RGR

Not remotely close.
Archaea
Jun 8, 6:42pm
She's 13th in scoring, 4th assists, 17th in steals, 18th in blocks. Seems closer to top 12 than not remotely close to me
Spiff

So a volume player is judged solely on stats? No, you like her
Archaea
Jun 8, 6:50pm
If she didn't show up for tryouts, then she shouldn't be on the team. I'm ok w/ a rookie having to tryout.
Spiff
Jun 8, 6:54pm
She was playing in the Final Four and so missed the tryout camp, which is not

Treat rookies all the same. No special treatment. It’s not like she’s A’ja
Archaea
Jun 8, 6:58pm
I’m not saying that. I’m saying it’s being mischaracterized as “not showing up”
chilawcoug
Jun 8, 7:03pm
So? Why should rookies be that important?
Archaea
Jun 8, 7:05pm
Cool story

If she is good enough, she will earn her way on in four years.

How many are foreign? (I don’t know wbb well enough, but I guess there’s some)
ABN RGR

She's going to shatter the WNBA record for most turnovers in a season.
Y05
Jun 8, 6:43pm
Yeah these turnovers are egregious
chilawcoug
Jun 8, 6:57pm
The entire world is conspiring to keep poor CC down.
Archaea

No I just thought the videos were funny in the context of the response.

There are always some head scratchers from stats people, but

I’ve watched enough to know her turnover problem is bad right now. I know you

She may become a good pro player. I have tried to like women’s bball

Considering how dominant the US Women are in the Olympics, it's likely her turnover problem would be resolved by a

Nope, not yet. I think she will be eventually, but not close right now.

Because the season is young and they don’t like the undue attention she receives

You’d think some coach at this point would stop that selfishness
chilawcoug
Jun 8, 7:07pm
"Hey, you, player! Stop trying to defend so dang hard tonight!" It's selfish!
runnincoug
Jun 8, 7:27pm
No coach is going to tell a player to stop faceguardingher opponent full court?
chilawcoug
Jun 8, 7:33pm
That'd make sense if it were a single defender. Why the double teams?
ryebrye
Jun 8, 7:38pm
The defensive gameplan should nearly always be to double the other team's best.

What are Plum, Ionescu, and Stewart?

WNBA advanced stats have CC as 7th best guard in league (under efficency stat)
