The olympics are not about popularity. That's where we disagree. If it was,
I'd agree with you.
As for Laettner, them's were the rules at the time. This was the first transition from amateur to professional players, and for that transition year, it was required that the team be a combination of college and pro. So they had to have a college player, and Laettner was considered the best collegiate player---so yes, it was PERFORMANCE based, within the rules at the time.
This article calls him the #4 best collegiate player of the entire decade. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1802588-ranking-the-10-greatest-college-basketball-stars-of-the-1990s

She's 13th in scoring, 4th assists, 17th in steals, 18th in blocks. Seems closer to top 12 than not remotely close to me

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.
