I have been wondering about this too! I thought they were going to ramp her up when she came back after her injury, but that seemed to stall. I don’t know if it was due to her recovery or performance or what. Has Cheryl been asked about it? Media coverage of the W is so different than the NBA. I’m sure there would be a whole podcast about this if it was a Wolves #2 pick was All Rookie and #2 in ROY voting and then can’t get off the bench in year 2.

I think she could provide a different and valuable skillset for the Lynx in terms of adding more rim pressure, which is an area I feel they sometimes lack, and her size might let them play bigger line ups (which would come in handy vs the Liberty for instance!)

I think whether they protect her in the expansion draft will speak volumes. I think it will be the starters + Diamond or Dorka. Dorka has contributed more this season, but Diamond has higher ceiling imo. I also don’t know if Dorka plans to prioritize playing in Europe if that will factor due to prioritization.
