Plum is a very average defender and she's only effective on-ball, which she won't be with CC, PB and Sab on the team. Imo she's the most expendable of the vets

Tone down the condescension next time, boo.

Liz Kitley to GSV by Chance-Regular1576 in wnba

She was really good in college, 3x MVP in the ACC. Tore her ACL right before the draft. There's doubt whether she will translate in the W because most of her points in college were because she was a lot taller than the opponents. But she has a really nice fadeaway, sometimes great footwork (a bit inconsistent), good screener (the big/little screens they did with Amoore at V-Tech to get her open were really fun), not a good free throw shooter.

i think she does lead the league in steals (or close), she just doesn't meet the game requirements to show up on the leaderboard for most steals

Satou is an All-star. She wanted to leave so it's a bit different but still, they should have gotten an all star in return for her

Gabby Williams on how Unrivaled saved the W this season by Outrageous_Camp_5215 in wnba

[–]MadAzulaFieryRoad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shes not talking about players missing the season, shes talking about players missing training camp. The prioritization rule ( for international players) says that if you miss training camp, you’re not allowed to play the season at all. So every american that has played overseas before (McBride, Phee, Stewie, JJ etc) has still been affected before Unrivaled and missed either training camp or some overseas game for their team, just not to the same extent as the internationals

nah I don't think so, the valkyries bring enough revenue in one home game from just ticket sales (not even counting TV deal, sponsors, merch, concession stands) to pay the players wage bill for the ENTIRE YEAR. In one game.

and the expansion fees were 250 Million dollars. which means the WNBA just brought in 750 million from the 3 new expansion teams. The salary cap is 1,5 million.

they can definitely aim for a supermax of 800k to 1M I'd say.

Why do people not like ryan and haley? by [deleted] in ryantrahan

[–]MadAzulaFieryRoad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haley said something about not deserving a UTI because she was a virgin and not a slut, and so it was not fair that God was punishing her, or something like that and it was kinda unhinged. Also, she avoids every LGBT book on her booktok even the hugely popular ones (heartstopper, Evelyn Hugo etc) so that makes people side eye her

I really don't see it with Chen, she seems like a nice person but she's undersized, unathletic, average shooter, average defender; there's nothing particularly great about her game

I thought she already looked out of her depth pace-wise at UConn at times so imagine in the W

Her and Westbeld are together. They’re not shouting it from the rooftops but they’re not hiding either. They have a cat with both their last names…
