What a roller coaster ride for our Mama. There's a reason she keeps getting picked up. It's the same reason I think she'll have staying power in the league.
She's solid, dependable, and versatile, with a team-first mentality. Yes, she's likeable, but she's also fierce. And she can play, baby.

Evina slowly moving back to CT
How is reeve very rigid if this is the same coach that got praised for saying UCONN players are plug and play ?
Not entirely sure, but it’s not a hardship contract.

Just logging into the yard. It's nice to see something positive when you first come on. Glad to see someone realizes Evina’s value and potential.

I think she'll fit very well on the Mystics. Cloud/Machida seem to be the clear-cut rotation at point, but they're kind of thin at the 2-3 spot. Atkins, Clark, and Walker-Kimbrough are it (along with Delle Donne playing a little at 3). Westbrook is versatile enough to be a good replacement for any of those three.
The Lynx are one guard injury away from having HUGE regrets that they let E go.

Her defense with the Lynx was stellar but she seemed a bit lost on offense. I'm thinking Reeve's system did not take advantage of Evina's skills. Also, it was a lot of individual, create your own shot offense and she did not get the ball much to create her own offense. I hope she fits in better with Washington. I think she proves every time on the court that her defense belongs in the WNBA.

The Mystics love defense. This is a great signing for them.

Yup. She needs time and experience.
The hard cap is the problem, if Prince didn't already count 115,000 towards the cap, E might have stayed in Seattle.
I agree with this 100%. Too much create your own on the Lynx and when she was totally open, never got the ball. Also she rarely turned over the ball. I think Reeves put her in to take care of the ball and minimize turnovers, and for her tough defense. She often guarded the best player. She did an awesome job shutting down Rhyne Howard. Howard was very frustrated when Evina was guarding her. Evina should fit in better with the Washington Mystics.
Apparently, besides a Hardship contract there are Extensions, Free Agents, And Entry Level contracts. I assume she has an Entry Level contract. Perhaps someone knows for sure besides E.
Unfortunately it looks like Evina’s contract is a seven day contract per several sources on twitter. Supposedly coach Mike wants to keep the roster flexible. This is crazy stuff. Hopefully Evina impresses big time!
