It blows a hole in the bs idea that rookies don’t make the team. Or that it’s because she didn’t play in training camp. Making back to back finals and breaking college records is more than enough pedigree especially for a 12th spot that would just keep the bench warm. And now taurasi, who “stole” a spot from pros who earned it when she was a rookie now is going to steal a spot from a rookie and use experience as an excuse. Everyone outside of their tiny little bubble sees the hypocrisy.
