Yeah, but that team is really dreadful. It is going to be a long painful season for Mo. She will likely lose more games before the Olympic break than she has in her career since she started playing for Thesa.
That is a painful truth. The Stars are bottoming out in the midst of a "rebuilding" cycle. They have gone, and will continue to go through some rough times. The Lynx, The Mercury (Taurasi is back), and the Liberty (won the most games in the regular season last year) are going to be sitting in the catbird seat this season. The Stars still need a lot of help. They'll have to do it through the draft. They only have a couple of players any team would want in a trade, and those two are untouchable. The Stars will no doubt finish in the second tier of the league again with a losing record, as their accent back to .500 will continue t be a slow and arduous one. It should not be too difficult to improve on their 8-26 record from a year ago. Last year
Kayla McBride, Jia Perkins and Sophia Young-Malcolm were the only players to average double figures in scoring last season scoring 13.8, 13.5 and 11.5 respectively.
Jefferson wanted to go home. She would have been a little better off had she gone to the Dallas Wings (only 18 miles or 33 minutes from her parent's Glen Heights Texas home vs. San Antonio which is 274 miles or 4 h 15 m from Glen Heights).
The Wings (Tulsa Shock) made the playoffs in 2015 for the first time in 6 years, finishing 2 games above .500. They l
ost in the Conference Semi-finals to Phoenix 0–2. The Wing's 2016 roster is not going to strike fear in any of their opponent's hearts. They've got an uphill climb in from of them this season as well.
