WNBA News, (Post-) Game Comments for June

​

FANTASY POINTS PER GAME​

1.	Breanna Stewart SEA	40.3
2.	A'ja Wilson LVA	35.9
3.	Sylvia Fowles MIN	35.2
4.	Jackie Young LVA	33.0
5.	Alyssa Thomas CON	32.9

A'ja is second in the league in rebounding and block shots. Taking in to account all stats, she is only behind Stewart in fantasy points. A'ja is definitely playing at a MVP level. Jackie is playing at a MVP level, but can she keep it up the whole year? I am an Aces fan, so I hope she can.

Wasn't trying to take a swipe at A'ja, just acknowledging how well Aces are playing across the board.

If I am Napheesa, maybe extend my Maternity leave?

She wants to play with Syl one last time

I have 2 of the top 5 on my team

Sun out for blood tonight and the Aces stink so far. Gray is turning the ball over like it's going out of style. Bonner can't miss, she's just chuckin' from everywhere on the court and it's going in.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wilson isn't gonna duplicate her production from the last matchup against the Sun. Scoreless, several minutes into Q2. Aces getting killed.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I had to quit watching toward the end of Q1. Worked like magic. Sun were up as much as 17 or 18. Aces have cut it to 3 at halftime. Jackie Young going off w/ 16. Wilson and Hamby went to work in Q2. Sun were absolutely insanely hot to start, looks like they finally started to cool off somewhat.

 

[shiverz45]

Maybe it is just her demeanor, but Stokes play like she is lazy. If she is not going to score, she should at least try to go all out on the defensive end.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Come on now, Bonner and Jonquel a combined 8 for 10 behind the arc? Ridiculous.

 

[nwhoopfan]

78-72 thru Q3. Aces have gotten within 1 twice, but then get behind by 5 or more again.

Young and Plum have combined for 43 so far.

18 for Jonquel and 16 each for Bonner and Courtney Williams.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Young just rolled her ankle. That's devastating, especially with nobody on the bench worth a darn (is Riquna ever gonna come back?).

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stick a fork in the Aces. Can't score since Young left. Wilson and Gray taking turns trying to play hero ball, and it ain't working. Other than Q2, really bad night for A'ja.

 

[eebmg]

Becky may have to suit up

 

[eebmg]

Plum just got squeezed.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Gray is out now as well. Aces lack of depth is a serious problem w/ 2 starters down.

This was something that was talked about during the game on Tuesday. Will be something to watch.

Dangerfield could be available when NY has a player or two come back.

Crystal with another mature game 4 assists / 0 TO's in the Liberty's win but I wish she would get her 3pt shot going

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stinkin' Sun played out of their minds last night to beat the Aces, now in danger of losing to the lowly Merc.

Wings running away from the Storm. Is Sue ever coming back?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Chicago beat Atlanta earlier. While the Dream certainly are much improved, apparently most of their wins have been against bottom feeders so far.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Never mind, Merc blew an 11 point lead over the last 6+ minutes. No Charles tonight, sure could've used her against the Sun. They went w/ a Lilliputian starting lineup, Turner and a bunch of guards/wings. Cunningham is in no way a 4, can't believe they're actually using her there. But I guess the options of Gustafson and Anigwe aren't very appealing?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wings rolled the Storm by 17. No scoring outside of Stewie and Loyd. Stewie had 27, Loyd 13, the rest of the team COMBINED for 11. Oof.

Come home Stewie to the NY Liberty. Seattle does not look so adorable without Sue.

When Ezi and Sue get back, Gabby needs to go to the bench. It doesn't look like she ever will have any offensive game.
And when Russell is in the game you need at least 4 players who can score.
This very well could be Gabby's last chance to make it in the league.
Another player who needs to go is Prince, the last 3 games 0-14. As a reserve, that is unacceptable. Gabby gets 140,000, and Prince gets 115,000. Bring back Davis who had 18 pts the other night, and is in her 20's, and let Prince go.

If the contracts are guaranteed, I don't think you can replace them by a "cheaper" version since both contracts would be on the books and that will go over the cap . I don't think things like buy outs exist to get out of a contract.

Prince is not on a protected contract, like Angel on Minnesota. So Seattle could reach an agreement to buy her out. Then they have a small amt on of dead money on their cap. Read through an article on cap space.
Protected and Unprotected, only 6 per team can be protected, as guaranteed salaries.
