Cameron Brink, Rhyne Howard, Cierra Burdick and Hailey Van Lith will represent Team USA in 3x3 basketball at the Paris Olympics.
Brink, Burdick and Van Lith led the U.S. to a gold medal at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. Burdick was also on the squad that won gold in 2014. Howard played 3x3 for the first time with the U.S. at a training camp in Springfield, Massachusetts in April.“It is an honor to announce the USA Basketball 3x3 Women’s National Team,” said Jay Demings, USA Basketball 3x3 national team director. “It is an exciting process to put a roster together that will represent the country on a global stage.
The sport requires that two of the four members of the team be in country's top 10 for total points accumulated in FIBA rankings. Burdick, Brink and Van Lith are all ranked that high.“I’m so grateful to be selected and it’s an honor to represent the United States at the Paris Olympics this year,” said Brink. “The 3×3 training camp experience helped me with my transition into the league, and now I can’t wait to start preparing for the games with Cierra, Rhyne and Hailey.
Burdick isn’t in the WNBA anymore, while Van Lith transferred to TCU this past spring after a season at LSU. She previously played at Louisville.“I say this all the time but there is no greater privilege than to represent the USA at the Olympics,” said Rizzotti. “We understand that challenge in front of us as we face tremendous talent and experienced 3x3 teams.
The U.S. hasn't announced its 5-on-5 roster yet. Howard was in consideration for that team as well, but it would be virtually impossible to play on both teams.
