Day one practice report:
Parker, Moore Put on a Show
It makes sense that USA Basketball’s veterans would be the ones best equipped to shine in camp and that was the case Monday as Candace Parker and Maya Moore earned accolades from Auriemma for their performances.
Parker won gold at the last two Olympics while Moore was on that 2012 U.S. Olympic team plus the 2010 USA World Championship squad. During the scrimmages they stood out from the crowd, at times dominating players in one-on-one battles or setting up easy shots out of double teams.
“Those two are able to do a variety of things and it makes it easier for them because they know the system, they know the drills,” Auriemma said. “Those two had really good days.”

Making the team is a tall order for former BYU center Jennifer Hamson.

I understand the need to represent and play for your country but if Candace is taking some time off from the Sparks to rest, why is she participating with the National Team before the WNBA season?
