New-Era Rookies Shattering Records
Por Redaccion WNBA
Look back at how the rookies of the 2020s have hit the ground running in the league and shattered countless records along the way.
In pursuit of their fifth straight FIBA World Cup gold in Berlin, Team USA features a roster balanced with experience and youth.
Even without four-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson and five-time All-Star Kelsey Plum, the vets on this squad — Chelsea Gray (33), Breanna Stewart (32), Kahleah Copper (32), Napheesa Collier (29) and Jackie Young (28) — still bring a packed trophy case and a wealth of familiarity with competition on the global stage.
The rest of the squad is loaded with players who may lack the international experience of the vets, but have proven early in their WNBA and USA Basketball careers that they have the talent to maintain Team USA’s gold-medal standard, while rewriting the WNBA record books in the process.
