Team USA World Championship Quotes

Team USA Coach Anne Donovan
Alana and Seimone, to me, are two of the best young players in the league today…I don’t know how many people would have predicted that Seimone would have burst onto the WNBA scene the way she has. She came out with us on our trip to Australia the last two weeks of our six week training period after her season was over at LSU and she did a great job in a very short period of time on a team comprised of many of our veteran players, showed how capable she was at the senior level. So both Alana and Seimone having a ton of experience a with USA basketball, but at the senior level in the spring showed everybody just how capable they are. So they’ll give us more depth in our perimeter positions and will help us in developing down the road. So as the coach of this team, I’m very pleased with the additions.
