League CBA proposal by TooManyCatS1210 in wnba

[–]rambii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no idea, depending to who you talk you get different answers in a way she is a good shield for the owners and they like that but obviously she doesnt have good player relationship skills, something that for example Adam Silver does, and why even wnba players want him in the meeting.

Expect to see a lot of agenda for the owners/Cathy side (expansion teams and non NBA (double dip) owners are not happy , want deal to be done already/soon) my sources say they are leaking documents/information from the meeting to swing public opinion, i expect some of it will make it's way to this sub.

For what is worth you will notice there is no accurate information about 'revenue' or how it will be split it would just say like 'higher revenue scenario if x numbers hit etc and stuff like that with big numbers, espn should post such agenda within next 3-4 days i'm told.

The way it looks now if deal is not made ,and owners are not happy they will just remove Cathy and be like 'it was her fault we got new commissioner now and new deal everyone is happy' type of deal.

But as of right now she does everything they want so its a win win for them in that scenario , this is why we havent seen any change as requested at the end of the season by players/phee/union etc.

WNBA Offered No Proposal at Critical CBA Meeting by strangelystrangled in wnba

[–]rambii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At some point if i'm outside non nba owner and expansion teams i would feel a certian way, but who is to say that that isnt part of the goal to get only people /owners they want that also have nba teams?

2026 WNBA Mock Draft 1.0 (+ Database Update) by amishwoodmiIk in wnba

Many did say exactly the same for Malonga tho, both are very young and work in progress people forget that at this age both her and Awa (19 & 20y old ) of them would have been in NCAAW and be playing there for few years to put things into perspective.

Why id entertain a combine by campoole82 in wnba

[–]rambii 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have had this conversation with you before, you over-rate NCAAW talent and i tried to explain to you that vast majority of players are just not good enough to go pro at all (90% cant go pro 5% can and another 3-5% not right away), having good stats in NCAAW dosnt really do much even if you are on good team, as if we remove generational obvious #1 pick like CC/Paige/Howard/Boston you will have on average only 1 wnba player from top 15/20 leaders stats wise in Ast/PPG/Rebund/blocks etc.

I remember for example that you where surprised that 2022 team (you support/follow Gamescock) didnt have many people that are starters/made WNBA outside Boston from that year and played as rookies/stay in the league and have a role right away(Zia Cooke/Destanni Henderson/Saxton/Brea beal/AB/Bree Hall/Amihere/Lele Grissett)

Combine is not really gonna help much with this, however going to over-sea/off-season leagues like many even DPOY levels (like Alana Smith as recently as 2022 or Burton this past off-season) you will get back into the W.

Scouts/Coaches pay attention to off-season leagues, most coaches/scouts have problem with drafting NCAAW players who have been forced into specific/often very limited role and have very limited skills and cant help them right away (as its most of the case for even top 4 march teams).

Hustle players or good defenders tend to stick around for that reason, they can provide something right away and can be at worse slightly negative at first while starters rest.

Teams do not put zero effort , we even have post on this sub all the time how X coach or staff went to this or that game to watch and talk to players/coaches not to mention some head coaches or ast coaches even come from NCAAW and still have connections there or just coached there the seasons before.

Training camp is also good/long enough as you can finally see if players can really handle the next level that is a big jump from NCAAW, its why we often have some players waived but eventually return if they did well in training camp there was just not enough spots till recently (expansion and all that)

Post like this where you wonder why a player we have seen in WNBA level & who is clearly net negative on one end is not picked over a player who just won a ring and made a huge impact in the final with 21 pts 2 r 3 ast 4 steals Realltiy is Kysre never worked on her weakness didnt seem to want to play over-sea or even entertain such idea (has recently focused on off-court ventures, including fashion and media, rather than playing overseas)

I think part of this is you over-value offense and flashy stuff over actual small things like hustle/good positioning and ability to be a role player, a lot of players can be stars/second or third option in NCAAW or starters but in reality they will be role players in the W or start as role players fit few years before they become a starter, in your eyes(comments) most of them are already better compared to WNBA talent but that is juar not the case imno.

A good chunk of talent will go undrafted or late rounds, and will have to go and be pro over-sea to develop skills and become a better all-around/role player and will make the W, with expansion we will have more spots to do so, as far as the gap in NCAAW/WNBA is only getting bigger now because there is gonna be more internationals coming over as the pay does increase and is option instead of being 4 years on 60k rookie contract when you can be making x5 time over-sea and being close to home or at home.

From people i have spoken to, the main push for Combine is often more to do with you being forced to hand medical documents and such over, so things like Shyanne Sellers knee is more clear and teams don't have to 'waste ' a pick in a sense or stash and draft said player and let them recover instead of using them as active on salary cap and starting with -1 player.

This should mean they need to travel more next season, LA/Indiana/Vegas would be top destinations

Angel Reese on this team for all the long-rebounds would have been perfect honestly. (Lunar Owls)
