Collier & Dangerfield star against Liberty

If Megan would’ve stayed she would’ve been the 2021 #1 draft pick and POY coming out of college but now she’ll just be known as a player on Sabrina Ionescu team.

Even if she came out as a #1, what team would she be the undeniable best player? She is a complementary player. Nothing wrong with that.
 
Collier 26 pts (8-15) 13 rebs 5 assts 2 steals 2 blks
Dangerfield 22 pts (9-12) 4 assts



HIGHLIGHTS: Minnesota Lynx 94 - 64 New York Liberty

No offense, but everyone stars against the NY Liberty. It is always great to see UCONN players, including Meg Walker, and the two Kia's. But the NY Liberty gets "A" for effort. They just aren't nearly talented or experienced enough at this level. It is, of course, a debacle that Ionescu suffered a season ending injury ( my opinion only ) in game three ! Hopefully, they will get the number one selection again next year. Although who that individual might be is unknown...particularly if there is no season. What a mess.
 
Thought this quote was interesting by Reeve

“That was the conversation, more than anything,” Reeve said. “I wanted her to feel free to do anything she wanted to do. If that meant five threes, eight threes? I was going to trust everything she was doing. I also told her about great players making teammates better. How many times did she kick it out? Every part of her game was good tonight.”

"feel free to do anything...", not something that UConn players hear very often. and I think a reason why some UConn players have struggled in the WNBA, though certainly not most of them. I am amazed at the aggressiveness of Crystal; she is playing the game in a way that I never saw during her UConn years. she seemed to be overthinking the game so much of the time. she is really fun to watch these days, and she seems to be having a whole lot of fun herself.

That UConn pedigree is showing through. Good on Crystal.

Here is the post game presser of that Liberty game with Reeve, Phee and Crystal. Good stuff. Crystal talks about UConn and Geno as important influences.


Notice that Crystal’s feet don’t hit the floor when she sits in the interview chair.

So Aces (8-2) "starred" against Liberty ( 78-76)? :) The killer is Nurse. I wonder if she is hurt or is there an eyesight problem..
 
Really proud of Crystal. She's playing with great energy and confidence. She's got a total offensive game. She's really fun to watch. I hope she can take this fast turn around schedule and they give her some in game rest.
She got used to playing a lot of minutes at UConn.
 
Lynx have 3 day break. Reeve says team is on total rest for 2 days. That will get the aches out
