A bit of diversion before the game starts tomorrow.
Great piece on Gabby and Sopron

Gabby's direction as a player; that's mostly likely what Seattle Storm will ask her to be and the idea behind the trade.
"I now know the kind of player that I should be and the kind of player that I want to be," confessed Williams.
"In Sopron I have been able to focus on being a true wing player. At previous teams I would play the 4, then the 3, then point guard, then the two. I am learning from the best players in the world. I am trying to soak in all that knowledge.
"This league forces me to evolve my game because the competition is so high. I think that it is something that I didn't truly realize before I stepped into it. I did not know how much it was going to push me mentally and physically.
"I watched it while in college and I knew I wanted to play in it - but I never knew how much it would force me to grow. Of course, I never thought it would be easy, but I never dreamed my game could improve like this. That speaks to the kind of level EuroLeague Women is," she concluded.
Sopron and Williams will go up against Perfumerias Avenida in the Semi-Finals in Istanbul on Friday, April 8. Yep, that's against Katie Lou's and Karlie's team.
"There is a feeling of deja vu having Avenida again," said Williams.
"I am someone who likes revenge. I like redemption. It makes me even more excited. The feeling that everyone has is that without Ekat, it feels like the title is anyone's now. [Ekat is Stewie's team, yeah that powerhouse]
