It's not simply selecting players to a team.
The selection committee is limited in who they can select. For the Olympic 4-person team (3x3 rank)

• 2 players ranked within the top 10 of their country
• 2 players ranked within the top 50 of their country, or have the minimum number of ranking points

Men got clowned too

 

[upperdeck]

men lost to the #1 team in the world though

 

[upperdeck]

and that 3x3 thing is a different brand of ball. rough. no breaks, running clock on possessions.

 

[CoopSwoop]

It's a fast pace game, so endurance, speed play a big part besides shooting 3s. Feel like Slim would be a good fit but don't think she ever played.

They can’t make shots. U know who can ?

Clark would be a horrible 3x3 player

Her skill set just doesn’t match what you need there

Horrible might be a tad hyperbolic, but she shines in an open court game. Something that doesn’t really exist in 3x3.

Horrible might be extreme but you get the point
