The Sun drafted Kaila Charles and (after JJ opted out) acquired Beatrice Mompremier. I've looked at some video and I really can't decide if these players will have much impact.
Kaila looks like an all-round good player and could find some minutes if she can show she has some range. Seems like a positive teammate also.
Beatrice is more athletic than I thought. She runs the floor well and has good footwork under the rim. Looks to be very similar to Kristine Anigwe. One thing I noticed over and over was her propensity to use an elbow to clear space (and once in a while just for the heck of it). Not sure how that will fly with either the refs or (more importantly) more physical opponents. For all the success Bri Jones has had overseas she can't seem to secure a lot of minutes on this squad. Maybe Beatrice will be a better option for the Sun next year when Bri comes off her rookie contract looking for a better payday?
Anyone have good info on these players and how they might fit in in the WNBA?
