Sun Sign Yelena Leuchanka

[psconn]

to a one year contract. Strikes me that this does not bode well for Kelly Cain who is still on a training camp contract. Yelena is listed as a 4th year player but she's about 30 years old played in the W in '06, '07, '10, and '12. Played her college ball at W. VA. Sun looking to get bigger off the bench to give Bone a sub. I believe training camp opens this weekend (?), I guess we'll see...

The Sun will have to do a lot better than this to strengthen the center position, which is now their weakest position.​

CT Sun in the Kiah Stokes or Elizabeth Williams Sweepstakes. I'd take Kiah for her defense.

I have to totally agree on that one, or Harrison if they get a shot to nab her. No offense to Williams, but she's shorter (6'3") and lacks the height of Harrison, or the reach of Stokes.

The strength and reach of Stokes. Kiah is very strong.

... if only she could hold onto the ball once she pulls down the rebound, and not have shorter opponents bat it out of her hands.

I hope she will address that issue this summer. To me, that is a more significant asterisk on her game than any offensive limitation.

That's an accusation against her game I have never agreed with.
