A regular season game will be held in Vancouver BC this year. Very cool to see a WNBA game finally hit the west coast of Canada!

I like the development potential for both Reese and Cardoso with this hire. And not because I was a fan of her father's character in Police Academy

Will he promote Kiki for #1 pick?

I like it because it sounds like this was truly a Curt Miller hire and not a Greg Bibb one. I prefer this hire over the Sparks one.
They were all out of my usual brand, so I had to go with Tempo.

It's still meh to me. I "get it", but it feels like a whiff at the same time to me.

The Liberty's Ellie crossed the border and into the hockey world. Spent some time with the Montreal Canadiens recently. An excellent cross-marketing event idea!

I've been busy with the holidays and only saw these announcements today on Boxing Day:
- As noted, at least Curt Miller hired the guy he wanted (as opposed to Greg Bibb) with Chris Koclanes.
Now, whether it's more of a match for where they want to go, as opposed to where they are now...well, I guess we'll find that out. However, I highly doubt that means Kiki Iriafen will follow Koklanes from U$C to the Wings.
- As for the Mystics....this seems more like "we're tired of the Thibaults, let's see what we can find...." and this is it? Really, Sydney Johnson, with one year on the staff of the Chicago Sky (and they were all let go)?
The Thibaults, at least, left some players on the Mystics roster who were being developed so this group should benefit from that. But I'm not judging anything until a few years down the road....
Mystics? Huge is what happens with DelleDonne and they have 2 great draft picks in a loaded class at #4 and #6. Could see quick improvement.

Sure. There's good talent out there. I'm just voicing my uncertainty that they chose the right people to make those choices and mesh them into what they do have. The Mystics do player development and that should not be discounted.
As for DelleDonne, her career is getting like a cha cha: one step forward, two steps back. Is it worth taking the dance card?

Agreed. It's been one thing after another since her time at Iowa State. Hoping for the best as well. We've only seen flashes of her potential due to injuries. Really hope she gets a chance to show what she can do when fully healthy in the future.

Interesting landing spot for Wright. Assuming there's a Vegas Aces coaching connection involved.

I will say, watching ND, it is clear to me that the #2 pick for LA should be Olivia Miles. She's more of a natural PG than Paige, has clearly worked on her 3-point shooting, and is so dynamic in open court. Not a bad consolation prize at all, imo.

Heck if the teams drafting stay the same, I can see Olivia going #1 to the Wings & Paige going #2 to LA.

Rebecca Prenevost of Her Hoops Stats takes a loook at "stretch forwards" in the organization's periodic "WNBA prospectology" posts. Forwards listed, interestingly enough, all play for B1G teams and include: Angela Dugalic of UCLA, Julia Ayrault of Michigan State and Jordan Hobbs of Michigan....except for Maddy Westbeld of Notre Dame. Here's the article.

I am loving the Jordan Hobbs write-up. Jordan has paid her dues and stepping into her light right now. The "glue" player fits Jordan well. She has been that all everything for Michigan, especially this season. She doesn't put up a lot shots but she could. She just plays within the system Coach KAB runs and does a decent job. Jordan would be a heck of a WNBA player.Rebecca Prenevost of Her Hoops Stats takes a loook at "stretch forwards" in the organization's periodic "WNBA prospectology" posts.
