I wouldn't be surprised if they're better without her...

Perhaps they will be better. Seems like Atlanta is a bit better this year without Angel McCoughtry too. Only issue is this leaves the Sun with only 3 guards. Will they suspend Bentley and bring in another guard until she returns? Personally, I think they should just cut Jordan Hooper or Danielle Adams, both of whom are not needed at all on this team, and sign another guard for the remainder of the season.

Careful what you wish for. Faris may return.

Since Miller said earlier that he may bring Faris back if no one else takes her... I expect her to return. It's not like anyone else wanted her. Lol. They DO need another guard. At least she knows the system in CT. If they bring her back only to fill in for Bentley for a couple weeks, that would be ok I guess. As long as she's gone when Bentley gets back.

I have a couple of comments in regard to this thread...
1) Uncasville is in the middle of nowhere...BUT you are only there a few months in the summertime so they don't have to have roots and settle there. Not that Hartford is a big city but you can live closer to there if that's what excites you. You are basically in between NYC and Boston so there are options to go to the BIG cities for a short commute. It's a safety net for the franchise, but I was bummed when I lived in CT and heard about the team coming and finding out they would not be playing at the XL Center in Hartford but at the Casino in Uncasville.
2) I'm not at all happy about the Bently thing BUT it's only a brief time away so I'll get over it. It will open up the door for Rachael and/Or Courntey to step through and get it done. My problem with the whole thing is that without Chiney who creates a large gap to fill, they needed all hands on deck to fill in and now they have to fill another hole.
3) I also think Faris will be brought back for the interim. If they were to Cut Danielle Adams or Jordan Hooper, Faris is not the one to keep but I'd bring back January or Hightower for the long run. I'm kind of surprised that nobody picked up Hightower but maybe they don't want to take the chance with injury.

Glad she got another chance, but kind of surprised that Miller didn't go with one of the guards he cut from camp (Faris or January) since they would have known the system.

Well, I think it's more because Fitzgerald > Faris/January.

I think Bentley loses her starting job to C Williams.

I don't, even though she's a better shooter.

Just read that Courtney Williams signed for a team in Holland
So i will be able to see her play this season. But i find it weird because they budgets in Holland are very very low and this is a pretty new team with all young upcoming players |
Bear in mind that there are two players called Courtney Williams who were in the draft pool in 2016. The one now with Connecticut who came out of South Florida, and the one from Texas A&M who went undrafted and has only been in a WNBA camp or two. Seems more likely the second one would end up in Holland. |
