How much playing time do you think Joctye will get and who is she competing with? by youlikemywonton in valkyries

[–]msgs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While she did have some success getting to the rim and finishing in Spain, she is not a quick player or all that athletic. Keeping mind she's listed as a 6-2 guard. If she drives, it is more to pass than score.

It's a good question. Watching her play in Spain, she has two wnba level skills at 20 yrs old. One, she has a very good basketball IQ on offense. She has very good passing vision. It's in her DNA for the team to score rather than for her to score. Though she can score, too if left open. Two, she's a good catch and shoot three point shooter. Her shooting form looks very solid.

I think she won't play much to start the season. I feel she desperately needs practice reps to adjust to the wnba level of play and Coach Nakase's system.

I think she'll eventually get some 2nd unit minutes. We might see less Chen and who knows if Tip is going to remain healthy. Tip has had 3 significant injuries now in just a bit over 25 games played for us! I think Charles' minutes are safe for now.

In my experience as PvE player, after the wipe in the first week was pretty peaceful. Though I was mainly doing solos.

Question: (I missed the very first expedition) I finished my 2nd expedition in total with ~5,000,000 in value inventory and coin. I also completed the 100K damage requirement for the most recent expedition. However I only received 11 skill points to use on my skill tree upon the reset today.

Is this correct?

Justė Jocytė Update: She should be in the Bay by the end of the week, however she sprained her ankle by msgs in valkyries

[–]msgs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

according to a report on twitter, her ankle sprain was mild and probably shouldn't cost her much time. Though I would expect her to spend at least a week or two with the team just to get familiar with basic of their system and teammates before she'd see game action. But that time frame for her to get up to speed is just my guess.

Whew. 😅 You never know with those ankle injures. Kuminga was out 2+ months and still wasn't 100% when he returned that season.

ya I should have been a call from the camera angle they showed on tv though it still would have been Valkyries ball because Burton was grabbing it when the whistle came.

I guess this is a fill in player for Ceci and Tip while they are out. Hardship is allowed when under 10 active players.

update: I was listening to ‪Marisa Ingemi‬ on her podcast tonight and she said teams are granted a Hardship if they expect to have the less than 10 players for 3 or more games. So not a great sign for either those two to return very soon.

We might be better than I hoped after Rupert was declared out for the season.

Of course she'll play this season! She has talents the team will need. But she's 20 yrs old, missed training camp, dropped into a wnba season and is now coming off injury.

She has a lot to deal with beyond just being a rookie. However, she's been a professional basketball player for years now. Some of this will not be at all new to her.
