Young, inexperienced player (who has a lot of warts in her game despite showing some promise as a defender) coming off a major year-long injury/recovery.  I'm not expecting much, especially right away.  The current staff didn't draft her, so we'll see how patient they are with her as she works her way back to being a rotation player.  With Hamby and Stevens, I would be surprised if Brink starts this year unless there's a trade (and that's possible).

That's all well and good, but it doesn't translate across a 44-game season (the most regular season games in WNBA history).  The WNBA is a physical league.  She will not last at this rate as a small, ball-dominant guard.  Caitlin Clark is a bigger guard (by about four inches and 15 pounds), and I don't even think [I]she[/I] could survive that heavy of a minutes load.  The coaching staff (looking at you, Lynne Roberts) will have to sit her down and adjust the plan (i.e. tell Kelsey that she'll need to rest).  Odyssey Sims and Julie Allemand are capable of covering 4-5 minutes while Plum is out.  It's not like this is remotely close to being a contending team, so why risk the wear down?
