She just needs team success to get to MVP level. Her play is already there. But I agree. I noted that in the other thread, the TOs aren't a huge deal most of the game because her play is overcoming them for the most part but she still makes poor decisions in crunch time. They are generally plays where she is trying to do too much. Those are the ones that she has to address to start winning close games on a consistent basis.
Really was surprised to see this trade but Marina has seen that Chennedy Carter is the #1 option now. She reportedly requested the trade. Really good pick up for the Sun who is at the bottom of the league in 3p shooting getting a really good shooter in Mabrey
I've thought for a little while that they were waiting to get this next TV deal done before expanding again. They dont have to share that money with the new teams and they can get a huge fee from the new teams as well. The Sonics coming back is pretty much a given. I suspect the 2nd team will be in Vegas. The only question will be if LBJ has retired by that time so that he can be the owner.
They already have 2 teams joining over the next couple seasons. With continued growth they may even be able to get an impact fee for a couple more over the next 3-4 yrs. They've needed to expand for a few yrs now. Yearly there are 1st round picks that are cut because of how hard it is to make a roster. I think 16 would be a good number of teams to set at for a while.
Huge win for the Sky over a streaking Aces team. Chennedy Carter might've been an all-star if she had been starting from the beginning of the season. She is clearly hard to stop.
She is really finding her groove and the team is leaning on her more. She's gonna be a star. The Sparks really have something with her and Brink with Hamby as their vet going forward.
She's been with NB before this going back at least a yr or two in college. Its not like they just randomly picked her to be the face of the league or this campaign. Brink is liked by the rest of the players as well
Plenty I'm sure. Not enough to set the all time record in just over half a season. If you're watching she has way more that are her fault. She tries to do too much too often.
She will get better but she avg'd 4.5/gm through her college career. Its just how she plays. Her usage was much higher in CBB which could also be a factor there. Its quite a bit lower in the W so far and her TOs are still up.
Her play is making up for the TOs right now but she still needs to improve. It will be interesting to see how it effects her team in crunch time situations as they get better and play in bigger games.
Her 3rd 13 ast game of the season.
Some big games tonight already.
