Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 5086443, member: 6620"] Andraya Carter had some interesting post-game points on this iteration of the Sun: [LIST] [*]Per your (understood) and previous posts), the Sun -- with their defense -- are a tough out. They dictate play. [*]The Sun has Alyssa Thomas (and no one else does). That ability to lead in three facets of the game is undeniable. [*]Now the Sun have Marina Mabrey, which she called "the trade of the season." She acknowledged the obvious (three-point shooting) but says Mabrey does something else: Even if DeWanna Bonner is off shooting-wise (which she was most of the game), Mabrey can make up for that; allowing Steph White to keep Bonner in to rebound, play defense (which she did against Collier on the last-second shot). Mabrey, of course, also fits the Sun mentality like a glove. [/LIST] And Steph White gave kudos to Veronica Burton, as well, saying Burton's ability to play (very) tough defense allows the Sun to go small (and fast) on the Lynix, which might've thrown them off. With that in mind, perhaps the "cut and pick up" of the year goes to Greg Bibb for cutting Veronica Burton and to the Sun for picking her up off the waiver wire. ;) [/QUOTE]
