talk the Wings. WNBA media should watch this video, because you all keep talking about an Arike that does not exist, and when Dallas moves on from her, you shouldn't be surprised.

jokes aside, Indy just traded Lyss and #8 in a depth-y draft into Sophie Cunningham and #19. Kelly Krauskopf has been the Fever GM for four months and it's already gone very poorly

Vanderbilt’s Khamil Pierre is just the 5th player with 42 points & 18 rebounds in a D1 game since 2009-10, which’s as far back as the HHS database goes. She is the first w/ 42 pts, 18 rebounds & 8 steals.

This is the Ajša Sivka experience! A sound weak-side defensive rotation for the steal, pushes in transition & gets off a tight pass, then knocks down a C&S 3.

Today’s game made me feel so much better about Janiah Barker’s floor. The upside is evident, but she really did all of the little things at a high level: the rebounding, defensive rotations, screening, passing, etc etc

I’m still thinking about this pass from Ajša Sivka at U18s this past summer. She is 6’3. She is not even 19 yet. She is making this pass to the weak-side corner with her off-hand. A defender is right in her face!

Raven Johnson’s passive offensive process is so irritating. She is a good enough athlete to drive when there’s a pretty decent opening in early offense, but she just passes to someone else on the wing…

The Atlanta Dream hiring Karl Smesko is MASSIVE for Rhyne Howard’s development. She’s going to take even more 3s & have more driving windows to *hopefully* take a leap from bad half-court finisher to average or good
