With WNBA rosters capped at 11, teams can't afford to carry their own Jeremy Lins, young players who could become stars.

Lindsay Whalen is one of the oldest players making her Olympic debut; Maya Moore is the youngest. But together the two Minnesota Lynx teammates hope to bring home yet another title.
