Elizabeth Cambage will be Scary Good by the 2012 Olympics, after Playing the next 2 Seasons in the WNBA.
Depending upon Which Team has the 1st Draft Pick in the WNBA, she just Might be Selected Ahead of Maya Moore.
Call me a Lunatic if you must.
Despite how talented Miss Maya is, you Cannot Teach Height, period.
6′ 8″ talented players who can Dominate with nightly Double-Doubles are very Rare to find in Women’s Basketball.
It was obvious who the USA Coaching staff trusts. Sue and Diana both played 31 minutes. Great to see DT3 back in her aggressive killer instinct form.
Sue showed great form in her soccer tackle during the 2nd quarter, sliding into a seated position to grab the loose ball.
Sylvia played well but clearly showed frustration and impatience at times.
Hope that Maya can rebound from her 2nd poor shooting performance in 3 games.
USA Coaching staff showed Zero Confidence in Jayne Appel, as she did Not even play in the first half with USA up by 20.
