evidence: There’s an apparently controversial, apparently dirty-little-secret bottom line to the question of whether Caitlin Clark should have made the United States women’s basketball team for the Olympics: The players who made the roster are better. [...] (Here’s where we mention USA starting point guard Chelsea Gray hasn’t played a competitive game in eight months due to a foot injury and Clark was tipped Monday as the first guard in line to join the roster in case of injury.) Clark didn’t get left off the roster because of dues-paying or financial resentments or anxieties about her vociferous fan base, or almost entirely not for those reasons. She didn’t make it because there are 12 players who are currently better.
