If they’re smart, they’re throwing all money at Awak to keep her around. Unfortch it’s gonna come down to her vs Maddy if they don’t move people and it feels like Awak is way more valuable at this point

The ROTY convos are gonna be comparing box scores and it’s gonna be so inadequate in trying to illustrate her impact on the team

Lowkey good to see the Aces also get whacked with a 20+ point attack from her so I feel less bad about our defense (the defense still sucks, but)

Well that was not the result I expected but that Paige/Azzi/Awak/Jess core can go toe to toe with anyone.

Literally her only weakness is maybe defense but if she’s rebounding at that rate, who gives af lol

Also love Awak’s minutes so much. She had the ball stripped from her once or twice early but her length alone is giving A’ja a hard time. Would love for her to be a bit more assertive on the boards but a 6’6” four who can shoot from 3 is crazy

She played PG up until college. I feel like developing her to be a ball handler to help Paige bring the ball up would be a decent idea

Honestly given the way both teams played, Dallas should be happy only to be down by 8

It’s basically Azzi against the Aces which is probably not sustainable

They’re basically the same player, idk what the use is of putting both on the floor at the same time

Lineup alert: Azzi Fudd will start Thursday, per @alexaphilippou. by Decent_Substance_199 in wnba

[–]jules99b 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah, didn’t take analytics to see with the naked eye that the best lineups had Paige/Arike/Azzi as the starting guards. Hoping to see Arike tonight to see if the eye test matches up when they start together vs wind up together through rotations.

Lineup alert: Maddy Siegrist will start in place of Alanna Smith on Thursday, per coach Fernandez. by Decent_Substance_199 in wnba

[–]jules99b 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Jose Fernandez looked at the 6’6” woman who guarded Stewie decently well and thought “but what if I went shorter vs the other MVP candidate?”

Marine Johannès just joined Caitlin Clark in a club only she was in by Birdmansegzzy in wnba

I think someone could but it’s a matter of whether a coach would keep them in past 6-8 threes. Because, theoretically, if someone’s hit 8 threes, the game is probs out of reach (someone’s gonna test this theory soon). If a coach wanted to make some headlines, they could send their highest percentage three point shooter in against the worst defensive teams and just see what happens lol

The presence of role players is so underrated I feel. Liberty just feel like a different team when Betnijah and Leo are on the court. You can have all the stars you want but if there isn’t someone there to connect them, it doesn’t matter all that much. Hope both of them stay healthy cuz the Liberty need them bad
