I would think adding Gray would free up Kelsey at the 2 guard spot. Don’t think Jackie is going to beat KP out because she is such a great shooter. I never did see what Bill saw in Jackie to take her over everybody else TBH.
Well they already tried that and she's better as a 1 than a 2.
Young has similarities to Gray, just not in the passing area. He likes big guards.
Tina Charles is a question mark as far as how good she is now. She was bad that last year with the Liberty. She made the team worse and that’s hard to do.
What Young has over Gray is probably a little bit more athleticism, and being a better defender.
I wouldn't say she made the team worse but she had a bad year. She's definitely a question mark this year since she is a very capable scorer since she will have to adjust playing a very new role. She was the Liberty's only offense force the last several years and consistently led the league in FGA. Offensively she won't be the go to player in Washington and it may take time to get acquainted to playing with EDD. If they can be a strong 2 headed monster, they'll be a title favorite along with Seattle and maybe Vegas.
Boy did Hines-Allen make the most of Tina Charles opting out
She had a terrible start to the season, but turned it around and was good in the playoffs. Averaged 13.5 ppg over the final 12 regular season games shooting 61% and 8.3 rbg. Not bad for a 4th option.
Good point noting the drop off on D . I was going to say especially KLS but on second thought especially both of them.
That was almost bizarre how little impact the first half of the season she had. That was a deep team.
Herbert-Harrigan may surprise. Maturity issues at SC. Good physical tools. I was impressed with her production in limited minutes her first year in W. She looked like she belonged.
May be right about Clark but she’s been getting better with age but that can’t go on forever. Clark was a late bloomer as a pro and she sure did bloom. In 2016 when they lost in first round she was brutal. No offense. Coach that year for Storm was in over her head. She’s now in the NBA.
She's a high energy player and she had no energy at the start of the season. She looked like an entirely different person. But the light suddenly flipped up around the midpoint and she was back to being the player we were used to seeing.
MHH improved a great deal over the course of her final season at SC. There were very few observable deficiencies in her game last year, and Boston’s life is much harder in her absence.
I feel like I remember them saying Howard came into the bubble a bit out of shape. So, that would explain the "no energy" situation. From fourth option on the Storm to the fourth richest contract in the league.
