A little early for this but I'm pretty psyched... 5 true posts, 7 true guards, 2 swings, 2 TBD - 12 woman roster when all is said and done. I'll say it again, 12 is not enough. This training camp is going to be extremely competitive and I hope some pleasant surprises emerge.
Rachel Banham G QUESTIONABLE - I don't think there's any "maybe next year" left for Rachel. Now or never. Lots of good guards coming in. Had a good season in the WNBL. I hope she can prove all doubters wrong in camp but...
Alex Bentley G PROBABLE - she was actually pretty good in her role as a back up. Don't know if she was really happy in that role and she was dealing with a bad ankle.
Cayla George C LOCK - with the loss of Pedersen and Kizer the Sun need a banger inside.
Kelsey Griffin F PROBABLE - One tough Alask-nebrak-australian
Same as above and it depends how well she can come back from her hip surgery. She was an All-Star and MVP in the WNBL but that's not a really strong league. No one plays harder than Kelsey and the fans love that.
Jessica January G QUESTIONABLE - I love the way she plays. Hard nosed hustler who has offensive skills. Stuck in a numbers game at guard on this roster.
Brionna Jones C PROBABLE - Hoping for a sophomore leap here. She's had a good Euro season.
Jonquel Jones F LOCK- Tremendous talent. All-Star with upside.
Betnijah Laney GF QUESTIONABLE- I need to look at her work more closely
Chiney Ogwumike F LOCK- There has been talk of her working successfully on her outside game. If she can approach Nnecka's success outside, it's a game changer for her and the team.
Leticia Romero G QUESTIONABLE- She's a question mark to me. Plays ok on a good Spanish National team and is averaging 9.6 points, 7.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds for her Czech Republic team (no idea if that's a strong league).
Shekinna Stricklen GF LOCK- She carried the team at times last season with her 3 point shooting. Faded a bit at the end.
Alyssa Thomas F LOCK- AT makes the team go in much the same way Gabby did for UConn... rebound, hard push, attack the rim, good passer. All-Star
Jasmine Thomas G LOCK- Coming off her best season running the show and making shots... All-Star, warrior.
Morgan Tuck F LOCK- Morgan lead the team in scoring before going out with a an injury. She had a great overseas season. If she returns better than her last year's best, the Sun take a big step forward.
Courtney Williams G LOCK- When she's on, she's the show.
Lexie Brown G LOCK- You don't see 1st choices cut pre-season especially when so much political capital was spent with some fans to get her.
Mikayla Cowling F QUESTIONABLE- So hard to make a roster in the W. The Sun have no use for another post unless she's shockingly good in camp.
