Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2332077, member: 26"] Some of the former players aren't in the right place IMHO (KML for example in Seattle - yeah she needs work on fitness, but she almost always plays with the 2nd stringers and Seattle has a tremendously weak bench). Others, like Hartley and Montgomery, have struggled at times, but this year both seem to have found their "game" - Hartley has worked her way back to being a starter, and Renee is one of the very best PG's off the bench in the WNBA (she'd be a starter on many teams). I believe that all the UCONN players in the WNBA are going to be there for a while. It was sad to see Kelly get cut, but she was almost always on the cusp her entire pro career. Sue, Dee, Renee, Tina, Maya, Tiff, Stef, Bria, Kia, Moriah, Stewie, and even KML and Saniya (did I miss any?) - most are stars on their respective teams, and the ones who come off the bench are for the most part very productive. I think players like Stokes and Montgomery would be starters on many other teams. KML would benefit from a stronger bench, more dedication to fitness, and/or a new home. Without checking, almost every Husky who's a starter at this point has been to an all star game - Sue, Dee, Tina, Maya, Tiff, Stef, and Stewie. Bria did make the all-rookie team and she's on the "comeback" trail after giving birth... Kia was just invited to team USA tryouts, and Moria's time will come... [/QUOTE]
