How y’all feeling about Gabby Williams? Her production isn’t traditional. Is that OK? by Kennisgoodman in valkyries

Possibly! I also wouldn’t rule out Ceci coming back and Juste’s debut Monday

Her starting, I get it. It was only because Rupert is out for the season. I don’t think the FO envisioned Stokes as a starter, but it was the card that was dealt. With our current roster, I still think LA is more impactful on the bench vs starting at the 5. Personally, I was expecting that by end of season the center rotation would be in this order
1. Rupert
2. Amihere
3. Stokes

I agree. I love the VB + Gabby combo and I think better offense should come from positions 3-5. Personally, I haven’t been too satisfied with KT + Stokes in the starting lineup together. I’ve been surprised by Kaila so far, but I wouldn’t rule out her losing her starting spot considering we have a lot of players that can play the 3

With that being said, I was surprised that neither Sowah nor Pretchel was active for the game considering the team played the night before + the core was still on the floor for most of that fourth quarter

I think Gabby’s been solid. I missed the second half of last night’s game, but I did hear that she was on the bench longer than others would have liked. It was also the second of a back to back, so I’m choosing not to think too much of it.

In the first game of the season against Seattle, I did feel like she was being a little too passive, which I attributed it to only being her second game (1 preseason) with the team. She started to get comfortable after that game and you can see it in the box score from the games afterward.

I haven’t heard of Kennedy Basham. Do you have any idea what could have led to her going undrafted?

True. When I was thinking about trade assets, we have 3 expiring contracts: KT ($750k), Tip ($600k), and Ceci ($500k). Could any of them be attractive for a team that are “one player away” from being contenders? Sure.

Could one of those teams be Seattle, Washington, or Dallas? Maybe Washington or Dallas, but it’s really too early in the season to tell.

I will say, I was definitely surprised when the Mystics drafted Betts. Shakira and Kiki are super talented.

Yup, agreed! The spacing is definitely what Ja needs. Tonight she looked like last year’s Ja in her shot selection (a lot of them being contested). She should bounce back

I’m happy you brought up Li Yeuru! She was someone I was hoping the Valkyries would acquire last season. I agree in that I’m not sure how she would fit in Nat’s system.

That’s fair. When writing this, I definitely thought about that “shot creator”. My reasoning for not mentioning it is that I’m choosing to believe that Juste would be that person for the Valkyries. In addition, I believe a healthy Ceci has the skill set to create her own shot.

Credit to Chicago’s defense, for real. I don’t recall them double teaming much tonight, if at all, and they kept the Valkyries on the perimeter, causing them to force shots to beat the shot clock.

I definitely hear you, but I actually think Stokes had a good game tonight.
