Message: [QUOTE="psconn, post: 2708910, member: 293"] The Connecticut Sun held their annual Media Day yesterday. Some articles follow. The Sun took a big step as a team last season but I believe there's a great deal of potential to take another significant step up this season. The keys are: 1) assimilating Chiney while maintaining floor balence 2) Can Jas, AT, JJ, Strick maintain or exceed the levels of performance they reached last season? 3) Bench contribution - the compressed season makes for a brutal schedule. If Coach Curt can comfortably call on 1-12 and get productive play, that will be huge. No one plays harder than Jas and she would benefit greatly if Lexie can give productive minutes. This would also benefit Alex Bentley, who IMO is a better 2 than a 1. Oft-injured Tuck and Banham being able to perform to expectations would provide additional offensive firepower. The Sun are quick and athletic inside but not particularly muscular. Cayla George and Bri Jones could play a big role in reducing JJ's minutes, while supplying some inside muscle. Cayla can also step outside a bit, so balence doesn't suffer. Bri seems to have a pretty sweet shooting stroke but hasn't put it to use much in a WNBA game as yet. I mentioned 11 players, 6 are posts, 7 if you count Stricklen. Who will the last spot go to? My personal fav is January for the toughness and intensity she plays with. Then there's Romero. Playing well overseas and buddies with a certain unicorn named Alba. Stay tuned...
