PHOENIX ― WNBA stars A'ja Wilson and Sabrina Ionescu are excited to see college basketball players JuJu Watkins and Mikayla Blakes at Team USA Basketball training camp. "Just an opportunity to have your name on this list, in this pool of players, it means that you're doing something right," Wilson said. "It's super cool to see them want to be here, want to learn, want to grow, that's the beautiful thing about this next generation and this group of youth that we have is they wanna be sponges.
And I remember being in their spot. So, I'm proud of them. I'm glad that they're both here to have an opportunity to play alongside us.
" "It's amazing for them to show up," Ionescu said. "Obviously, it's nerve-racking. You're young.
Your head's probably spinning. ... The pro-style game's different, but I feel like that's the fun part, and that's the cool part about USA Basketball.
