I think Hull is a bigger risk than originally thought. Hull was a great college player with a high energy motor and always gave great effort but she was a good, not tremendous, shooter and if other players are proving to be more valuable she could find herself on the outside looking in with this roster.
I think Hull was a decent gamble. She's a high character, super smart player that, essentially, fills a role similar to that of Vivians and Hartley. If she performs well before they get back, awesome and we'll cut one of them and save the cap money. If she doesn't, then we already have that position taken care of.
I don’t think Lynx head coach/GM Cheryl Reeve would mind having the 1st pick in next year’s draft. Many would agree that Boston (NPOY) will probably be the 1st player taken in the draft. Who is coming out next year that you would take before her?
Things happen for a reason. When one door closes, another one opens. Crystal will be on a WNBA roster shortly.Great. Another victim of being (potentially) waived right after her birthday
Boston seems like a no brainer for Indy/Minnesota/Atlanta, as all 3 should have high odds. A lot of fans here scoff at the idea of Paige leaving early but if she declares she'd be hard to pass up for Minnesota at #1 if she was in the draft.
Annnnnnnd off the track we go. Hold on y’all
I don't think Minnesota is in the running. Don't they look at performance over multiple years and not just the most recent to determine lottery odds?
It depends on need. If you don’t need a big, I’d take Haley Jones without a doubt. She can play and guard 1-4 (and does so well).
I don't know if a GM would pass on Boston at #1 even if they didn't need her. They would probably trade the pick. I think she is perceived as a cut above the rest of the players that will be in the draft.
Don't forget that the long time starting post player for the Lynx, Sylvia Fowles is on her WNBA "fair well" tour this season. The Lynx will be needing a post player to replace Fowles. Reeve is going to replace Fowles, either through the draft or free agency. The NEED will be there come next April's draft.
Post edit...........
Does this mean crystal is out ?
Prorated to the number of days on the team based on the total number of days from the start to the end of the regular season and at 75% of the applicable minimum salary.
