Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 5337817, member: 6620"] Some reactions and other things to ponder between now and next training camp. [LIST] [*]Yes, Jonquel Jones' up-and-down play is noticeable and would be a tad concerning for GM's who might be interested in her services next season (do the due diligence). [*]Laney-Hamilton was missed this year, for everything from her 11.8 ppg and 4.2 rpg to her defensive prowess and all-round moxie.You can also add Kayla Thornton to the "minus" category. She contributed 5.5 ppg in some 20 minutes per game and not an iota of intensity drop-off when she was in the game. Kennedy Burke improved a lot this year, but Laney-Hamilton and Thornton are still at other levels for now. [*]There were goings and comings throughout the season and one that many thought was a layup -- Emma Meesseman joining up with her buddies Stewie and Jonquel, would be a no-brainer. Nyet! Unlike the Kathyrn Westbelds, say, of the world, Emma M, Jonquel and Stewie are used to being the "A" team on the front line. In fact, Coach Sandy only played Emma M. 8 -- that's right, eight -- minutes in the final game. [/LIST] Looking at next year, these are the UFA's from the NY Liberty (from top salary down....): - Meesseman; Stewart; Ionescu; Cloud; Jones; Laney-Hamilton; Talbot; Harrison; and, Burke. Wow, just wow. The top 4 are all over $200K and the next two are just a bit under, so a lot is vested in the top six players. Will be really interesting to see how Jonathan Kolb -- with Brondello's input, I'm sure -- restructures for the next go-round. [/QUOTE]
