With that, right here’s a projection of what the Workforce USA roster will appear to be when the Olympics start in Los Angeles in the summertime of 2028:

– Aliyah Boston, Indiana Fever

– Paige Bueckers, Dallas Wings

– Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever

– Napheesa Collier, Minnesota Lynx

– Chelsea Grey, Las Vegas Aces

– Rhyne Howard, Atlanta Dream

– Olivia Miles, Minnesota Lynx

– Angel Reese, Atlanta Dream

– Breanna Stewart, New York Liberty

– A’ja Wilson, Las Vegas Aces

– Jackie Younger, Las Vegas Aces

Gamers to look at: Shakira Austin, Mikayla Blakes, Sonia Citron, Kahleah Copper, Hannah Hidalgo, Sabrina Ionescu, Kiki Iriafen, Rickea Jackson, Kelsey Plum, Sarah Sturdy.

Wilson, Stewart, Collier, Younger and Grey really feel like locks and is perhaps the beginning lineup when the LA Olympics start. The subsequent 4 — the younger stars in Bueckers, Clark, Boston and Reese — will most likely be included too because the rising faces of this system.

In the end, that leaves us with three spots up for grabs, and this projection has these being crammed by Miles, Watkins and Howard.

For sure, Sue Fowl — the managing director of Workforce USA — has some difficult selections to make forward. Leaving Copper off the roster after a robust World Cup is perhaps a tough name, as will excluding Ionescu and Plum, however it’s tough to disregard Miles and Watkins’ expertise. Then once more, after just a few shut calls on the World Cup, maybe Fowl and Lawson will select to lean on seasoned veterans and take somebody like Copper over the inexperienced Watkins.
