Whalen ? Ridiculous.

Becky Hammond is a much better choice than Whalen as PG.

Sue Favor said...

I'm guessing USA Basketball is still mad at Hammon for playing for Russia last time.....

Rebecca said...

Yes, generally the US prefers not to put Russian citizens on its roster...

Besides, Whalen's a better point guard.
