The whole Courtney Williams thing with Phoenix has me shaking my head to this day.  I remember attending a game in Phoenix early in her rookie year when I think she saw all of a minute thirty of playing time.  This, the same player who single-handedly had Stewie and the Huskies down by a point or two at half-time during the 2016 season-finale in Storrs.  Thank goodness for all concerned she got traded to Connecticut.

I'm not really a fan of Sandy Brondello.  I think Brittney Griner is the most underachieving player in the entire WNBA, year in an year out, for example.  I have never understood why they insist on positioning her out beyond the elbow at the start of most sets.  Brondello is just too buddy-buddy with her team now, and seems unwilling or unable to demand adjustments and accountability for a group so good they can get by on talent alone.

So yes, a change in venue can make all the difference.  Last season, it looked like Stokes was finally putting behind her some of the offensive passivity she was known for in college.  Unfortunately, this season she seems to have fallen back into her comfort zone.
