Nikki Teasley, Anna DeForge, Nykesha Sales, Cheryl Ford, and Taj McWilliams-Franklin were named as starters for the WNBA All-Star team that will take on the U.S. National Team on August 5 at Radio City Music Hall.
 
Solid positional choices...and kudos to DeForge, better known as "Co Jones" by some Merc fans (though I prefer "Valley Forge").
 
Foreign players who play for their national teams (e.g., Elena Baranova) were not eligible for the WNBA All-Star team.  But what about Mwadi Mabika?  Where is she?
