Team USA vs. Japan: Expected Starting Lineups

US Women's Basketball Expected To Dominate

Team USA's roster is comprised exclusively of WNBA stars. Top names include leading scorer A'ja Wilson, six-time Olympian Diana Taurasi, and reigning WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart. Six of the top seven scorers in the WNBA suit up for Team USA. Beyond the U.S., 17 WNBA players will play in the Paris Olympics; zero play for Japan.

Japan's leading scorer, Mai Yamamoto (17.0 ppg, 64.3% three-point), stands just 5-foot-4. For comparison, Team USA's shortest player is Kelsey Plum at 5-foot-8, and eight of the 12 women on the roster stand 6-foot or taller. Wilson, Team USA's leading scorer (27.2 PPG), stands over a foot taller than Yamamoto. Just two players on Japan stand 6-foot even, none taller.

Likely, all 12 Olympians will see plenty of court time in this one. The drop-off between the starting five (Gray, Plum, Collier, Stewart, Wilson) and the next five (Sabrina Ionescu, Jewell Loyd, Diana Taurasi, Alyssa Thomas, Britney Griner) is negligible when it comes to international play. Rotators Jackie Young and Kaleigh Copper also maintain the Team USA standard.

Expect Team USA to dominate rebounding with its significant height advantage. In its final Olympic exhibition match, Team USA cruised past Germany, 84-57; they allowed nine first-quarter points and seven fourth-quarter points.
