He won't get hurt, it lights a fire under him that he hopefully takes with him into the season. He's good for three years, he is one of the Stars on the 2016 team. Don't think these Olympic games will not have an effect on those who are playing now. Who Cares. He won’t get hurt, it lights a fire under him that he hopefully takes with him into the season.

But, there is a lack of size, and Monroe has certainly been overlooked. He isn't good enough to make the team, but the Select Team omission was glaring, considering they players that were picked.
