Unlikely any of them read this, but huge thanks to the Sun players for the effort they put out all year. Another tough one, but the emergence of Bone as a legit force in the middle (clear MIP in my opinion), the glimpses of what Chelsea Gray could be, and the game over game improvement that Liz Williams was showing until her injury were high points for this Sun fan. She's no superstar, but Jasmine was solid and showed a HUGE heart; and Camille, despite finding herself in a place she did not want to be at the start of the season, showed what a solid professional and great person she is... well done Captains.
I've had issues with Mike DiMauro's columns over the years but I thought his Sun coverage this year stood out and (somewhat to my horror) I agree with just about every word he says in his season wrap-up below. Chelsea needs to do what Alex Bentley did, drop weight and get faster and quicker... she does that and all-stardom is in her future.
As I have been saying since she got here, Alyssa HAS TO find a reliable midrange game. I can see her not starting next year because she will be attempting to occupy the same space on the court as Kelsey B and Chiney. I just don't see that working. Coming off the bench when Chiney sits makes more sense to me at this point. It would be a shame if she can't expand her game because she is remarkably athletic and approaches the game with great intensity. Those are two attributes that the Sun can really use.
Thanks to DaddyChoc and Triaddukefan for being the other two steady Sun fans on the board and enduring all the nonsense from the Sun trolls and haters with me.
Here's to a healthy 2016 season... GO SUN!
