I am not sure CC isn't better than a few of the players selected over her so that argument is suspect. You'd have to pivot your argument from "CC doesn't deserve it because even though she will be better she isn't better now" to "the older players aren't better now but they earned it for past performance". At that point you are not supporting have the best current players on the team. And I am pretty sure CC has better stats than 41 year old Taurasi. But that also ignores the huge loss of interest in the team. I saw someone say... ":how would you explain not going to a player if CC was chosen over her?" I'd explain it thusly... "CC is a huge raise in salary and other money for you." Heck... I think Brink should also be on the team. She'd add way more viewership. Next year, Paige Bueckers will join the WNBA. She will also deserve invites to any world championship teams immediately.
I love CC, she is fun to watch and this is from a guy who hasn't watched the WNBA since the Comets. I think she's handled the ups and down with class but man her team sucks
