Her remarks on Kaliegh and Caroline are unexpectedly positive. In Maggie's view they were the two standouts. Her brief Yanna comment also caught my attention. Only Blanca's non-participation was a bit disappointing. Stay healthy, stay together and "just win baby"! What an interesting season...

Only 70%, but I had 2 of them nailed before talking myself out of the correct answer. The surprise for me... little 13/14 y.o. Blancita playing in a pro league. Remarkable even if the league is relatively weak.

If it was Nika, plant-guy would be compost.

Tic, tic, tic......

Bold. In what ways do you expect Blanca to "take Paige's place"? In Paige we had an AA, NPOY, vocal team leader, the best player on a dominent National Championship team, the go-to bucket getter, AND overall #1 pick in the W.

We'll have to see how things play out, but my guess is that Blanca's best shot to impact the game on offense is via put-backs and running hard in transition. My best "W.A.G." comp for her is our own Aubrey.

As always with new players, "wait and see" is my official position. What I'm hoping for out of Blanca is positive energy, defense and rebounding/ball hawking off the bench. If we get more, that's gravy. We have 15 really good players so minutes will be precious and competition for them -...

Hopefully not posted yet....

Bria's performance this year has been very good. After being out for 2 years (I think) her return at this level is remarkable. I hoped she could return at the same level she was at before her injury, but I think she's better. She and Liv (along with Saniya Rivers defense) have been real...

We lived close Mohegan (we're talking about 20 minutes from home couch to our arena seats) and had those wonderful seats for about 12 years. Very rarely went to dinner or spent anything before or after a game. Don't know how common or uncommon that is, but I assure you there was always a crush...

I haven't gone digging into the stats, but... Jonquel Jones?!?

This can be a meaningless stat for low minute players. Rayah Marshall is a good example of that. Most of her minutes come when the game is lost and the opponent has cleared the bench. I need to catch up with Valkyries games to see where Kaitlyn's minutes are coming. Last time I saw her she...

Hopefully not the studio that produced Miami's D. Wade statue. Yikes.

Didn't they make draft order based on the last 2 years after the Mercury shamelessly gave up a season and blatently tanked for Griner?
