Opals announce FIBA Asia Cup squad

Anon, they china sent 2 teams. China b played against the nbl1 stars and wnbl teams. Only opals played china A.
China a are superior to china b, particularly in the post.

Melbourne Boomers played the A team and NBL1 played the B team

wouldnt be too impressed, this China team has been beaten by everyone they have played so far during their tour, and those teams were not filled with Opals either.

sad about the young Aokso, but the door should now open for Sherf who frankly should have been there to begin with.

So Vegas win a single elimination game on a bad heave because the player with the ball didn't realise there was enough time on the clock to penetrate to the basket. Yet said shot goes in. So bad yet since it went in it's so good...

I doubt she would have mace herself available anyway, but that seals it.

Crazy end to a game!

Phoenix & Minnesota are now out of the WNBA playoffs, potentially freeing up Mitchell, Talbot & Brondello for Opals duties.

We are also going to lose Mitchell, Ohea,. Bishop and soon Ebzery, George, Whitcomb and Griffin because of age before the next WC. All mid 30s next major cycle.
Add buntons retirement and all of a sudden we have a very young and inexperienced team.

The new depth chart becomes...
G
Mangakahia 95
Lavey 93
Seekamp 92
Cole 92
Wallace 96
Wehrung 95
Garrick 92
Wilson 94

Think you will find quite a few more names will be needed to add to that list

Lavey has missed out
Alex Wilson shouldn’t even be a consideration
Cole and Garrick were cut super early
Wherung not even considered
Wallace two knee recon let’s see how she pulls up and mangakahia May have more important things to be dealing with poor girl

Without Cambage, we always struggle.
Griffin was mvp last asia cup and we still got beaten.
Hard to see us winning it.

Cambage has already hinted at retiring from opals after Tokyo.
From then on the opals could drop back quite a ways in the rankings.

Will be interesting to see who makes it, considering the WNBA playoffs start on Sept 11 and this tournament starts on Sept 24.
Allen looks safe because NY probably won't make the playoffs.
Cambage looks unlikely because Vegas are going well.
At least one of Talbot, Mitchell & Whitcomb could be pushing it - which is likely not a problem since Mitchell & Whitcomb can't both participate anyway.

Probably the squad I would select tbh. Griffin is unlucky but Sami Whitcomb fills more of a need.

No real surprises with those cuts (given that Alanna Smith is injured atm)
