Including her would have no impact on performance. She wouldn’t and shouldn’t play meaningful minutes and would have lots and lots of opportunity to play garbage minutes to appease her fans. The USA is going to roll over everyone. I don’t know where this bs is coming from that fans would root against the USA women just because she doesn’t start. It didn’t happen with laettner or Anthony Davis, it won’t happen with clark.
Where it will have a gigantic impact is on marketing and growing the wnba. And I just don’t know why the younger players wouldn’t love having more and more fans cheer them on.
