Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3157074, member: 1131"] I have thought for a while that the Sun are fortunate to have one of the best players in the WNBA: Jonquel Jones. Even last year, I thought that she made more of an impact than Chiney Ogwumike or anyone else on that very good 2018 team. After Monday night's exhibition game against the Liberty, I was all ready to rate her near the top of the league's talent ladder, potentially as good as EDD or a healthy Breanna Stewart. In that game, in 19 minutes she scored 19 points, shooting 4-for-8 from 3-point range and 7-for-13 overall. She also had 4 rebounds and 2 blocks. Unfortunately, on Tuesday night against Dallas, despite having equally good scoring chances, she went 0-for-5 from 3 and 4-for-14 overall for 10 points in 20 minutes. But she did haul down 14 rebounds, including 4 offensive rebounds. She missed at least two easy layups -- possibly more. She is a 6-6 mobile post player who gets all the rebounds that a player of her size should get, and protects the rim as well as anyone except maybe Ms. Griner. And she is still early in her career. Her body language suggests that she is happy with the team with her situation, which makes me think she may have a long career in Connecticut ahead of her. [/QUOTE]
