I'm totally biased but I think their styles of play complemented each other. Naphessa landed on a team that complemented her talents and Katie Lou did not.
How many teams have not complemented her teams?

Megan Walker begs to differ! LOL. But you are close to right IMHO.

I think a lot of people knew Pheesa would be good in the W, but I don't know anyone who could have foreseen that she'd be on the short list for MVP, and Lou would barely be hanging on in the league as a reserve. With all the good rookies coming in next season,

I think Lou will struggle if she doesn't improve dramatically. Fortunately with the new teams, there will be a place for someone with borderline talent, but it's shocking that her sister is making much more of an impact than she is. Lou has been so disappointing.

Is Megan on the wall?

Lou- yes, doesn't slash to the basket, no mid range game, not much of a presence on the boards despite her height....she may not even be on a roster next season.....

Megan was an AA her junior year before she left for the pros. Not sure if her number has officially gone up on the wall, but she met the criteria. If it's not there, it will/should be.

Megan needs to complete her degree before Geno will have her jersey hung.

Napheesa is such a beast. What a game today vs Connecticut. What's amazing is that her scoring goes so unnoticed, then you look at the box score and she scored 26 points. What I love about her game is that she knows exactly what she going to do when she has the ball in her hands. There is no second guessing, no forced plays, just excellent decision making on her part. Cheryl does such a good job at executing plays and making her players understand their roles when they're on the floor. There is ego, no superstar mentality, just good ol fundamental basketball. Pheesa's game is a true testament and compliment to her training back when she was at Uconn.

Yup. Even LeBron and Tyrese know.

Not just UConn. Her high school training at Incarnate Word Academy in St. Louis was also a big factor.

Phee vs Stewie in WNBA finals! I’ve been hoping these two would meet in the finals since the season began. Love Stewie, but I just enjoy watching the way the Lynx play, plus they have Phee AND Dorka, who I think will have a bigger role vs the Liberty.
If Phee doesn't win FMVP... even if the Liberty win, she's arguably still been playing better than Stewie.
