Dawn Staley, a member of the Team USA women's basketball team committee, believes Caitlin Clark's case for inclusion in the 2024 Summer Olympics would look different if the team were picked now.

"As a committee member, you're charged with putting together the best team of players, the best talent," Staley told NBC Sports' Mike Tirico on Sunday. "Caitlin is just a rookie in the WNBA, wasn't playing bad, but she wasn't playing like she's playing now.

"If we had to do it all over again, the way that she's playing, she would be in really high consideration of making the team because she is playing head and shoulders above a lot of people.
