What is the future of the WNBA?

[easttexastrash]

I'm hoping there will be a San Fran team in the near future...


next year will very interesting. With the arrival of the draftees that weren't able to play this year:

Jen Hamson
Natalie Achonwa
Chelsea Gray

I think the league will be even better than it was this year.

Hamson will be on the Sparks and will be a great rival to Britney Griner. That could be like a Chamberlain/Russell-like rivalry.

This year's rookies made a big splash and you can't say that the league was better and more competitive than last year's version. Last year it seemed like something was missing with Sue Bird sitting out. She just needs her center to play again and they'll be right up there with the Mercury, Lynx and Sparks.

I'm interested to see how Achonwa and Gray do on their respective teams.

Hamson will not be a real rival to BG...nobody will, other than Charles and Big Syl.

You mean the Jennifer Hamson against whom UConn got 20 Offensive Rebounds in the Sweet 16 in Lincoln and was thoroughly outplayed by Stefanie Dolson? Is that the Jennifer Hamson that's supposedly going to dominate the WNBA and rival Brittney Griner? Surely you jest!! The only thing Hamson has in common with BG is height.

The only player who can stop Griner from dominating the WNBA is Griner.

Just to confirm, I did not say that Hamson will dominate the WNBA or rival Griner, although you replying to my comment kind of makes is seem that you think I did

Striper69 makes the claim that BYU's Jennifer Hamson will dominate the WNBA and its a notion I scoff at. She's not athletic enough nor is she quick enough to be a major factor in the WNBA. She's 6'7" and that alone will get her a job, but she'll be back-up on some team at best. I gave him Anne Donovan from ODU as an example. She was 6'8" and never made a significant impact as a player at any level beyond that.
