Probably shouldn't pay any attention to anything I say about the WNBA, I don't follow it closely enough to really know what I'm talking about.  I think Reeve in particular has done a poor job of developing young players to strengthen her bench behind her core group.  4 Championships speaks for itself but where do they go from here?  Whalen retired, Augustus and Brunson can't be too far behind.  There's 3 starters either gone or on their last legs.  Obviously you still have Maya and Fowles, who else starts?  Robinson was a de facto starter much of the season but wasn't very productive.  Wright is also old.  PG appears to be a problem for them.  Zandalasini had her moments this year.  Fagbenle had some moments as well.  Not sure about them for next year, without some major roster overhaul I don't expect them to improve, could continue downtrending.

I thought Vadeeva should've gotten more minutes this year.  Tons of potential.  I thought it was a little surprising they actually got her to come here.  Don't want to waste that.  Lavender is a decent backup post player but has a fairly limited ceiling.  With Parker and Ogwumike both in and out of the lineup this season, seems like it would've been smart to try to accelerate Vadeeva's development.
