Look what he says about Skylar..... Skylar will be the most popular of the Big Three, not sure she'll be the best. Got to go with Griner as the best.....

Diggins... sex appeal, ewwww!

Yet another professional writer unable to differentiate between "reigns" and "reins."

On Diggins, she isn't on the same level as Brittney & EDD are talent wise. If you think she is...then you must be wearing that awful ugly green color. Yes, she brings the social media thing, and all that....but she always brings those awful casual fans who watch her just because of her looks.

Diggins might have a multi all-star career ahead of her, she might make the Olympic team, and win a gold medal. But she won't be in discussions for MVPs, or challenge for the WNBA all-time leading scoring title like Griner, and EDD will. I also don't see a title in Diggin's future until she gets traded to a team with a MVP type player on it, or Tulsa gets one. This is just how I see it for her. *Shrugs*

As for who will be the best between EDD & Griner? EDD for me.


I think this years ROY race will be fun to watch.

I'm interested in seeing the Shock. With Johnson, Wiggins, and Diggins.

Sounds like a law firm... Brings to mind the old 3 stooges law firm gag... "Dewey, Cheatum & Howe"

and Baugh....?

and Baugh....?

Baugh is on training camp roster. Pederson is a good player.

EDD has the best chance of being the biggest impact player on offense, initially. Make no mistake that DT is still THE player in Phoenix. Griner will not be the go-to player like EDD will be in Chicago. However, BG will have a similar effect on defense that she had in college and EDD and SD may struggle to adjust to the speed and physicality of the league.

The ROY race will be interesting to watch but as in college, Griner will have a big edge on defense.

Diggins will be loved in Tulsa. Most southern women don't leave the house without doing their hair and makeup so she will be appreciated for both her basketball and her appearance. Young girls are going to idolize her if she gets out in the community.

PG is a position which probably got the least number of great players at the WNBA right now and with Sue (The best PG od all time IMO) getting up there in age, Diggins got a chance to be one of the very best PG's in the WNBA as long as she can get her shot off accurately. I have no doubt that she'll pass very well and will do a good job on defense.

Watching some videos of EDD's workouts leading up to her leaving for Chicago has me really excited. It looks like she'll really be battle-tested and ready for camp.

As for EDD being the go to player in Chicago? I'd say that could very well be true...but Chicago will have a version of the "Big Three" with EDD, Prince, & Fowles. And if three can really gel well together.....it could be a thing to see.

ROY as suspenseful? Nah, Kelly takes it.

Surprised not to see mention of Bone in NYC. Could make a diff.
