Nayo has a fractured metacarpal. Not her shooting hand, but still.

I considered that but Zahui B IMO has had such a rough season that her trade value is nill ATM |
Zahui for Fagbenle and the rights to the French player the Lynx drafted.

I'm pretty bummed right now, tonight was the first time I though maybe the lottery wouldn't be the worst the thing. If NY is in the lottery they are pretty much going to get #4, #3 if they are lucky because there two year record will be really good compared to the other teams but
I wouldn't hate the idea of adding Deshields or K. Mitchell we would at least have that one on one scorer who might be able to take over some games on the offense end that we lack at the moment, or we add G. Williams as our new SF which would also be pretty awesome.
Out of the lottery I'm still thinking Canada for speed and scoring (Even if Boyd comes back is she a starter?) or if we want size Billings or Russell, but the lottery options seem like a much better solution to what i see as the biggest problem this team has which is scoring and athleticism. |
With all the injuries spreading like wildfire around the W, i think the Libs will be in the playoffs by default and not be in the lottery.
ima say this again, I want Jordin Canada. a bona-fide PG that can do-it-all. split the PG duties with Boyd/Canada and you got Speed demons in the backcourt with their ferocious defense. Boyd was about to breakout
im with you lets get young and faster i would trade Prince for a 2nd round pick, then you got 2 picks in the second round. this team aint going nowhere lets start stacking up picks with this deep draft
Get a post player like Stephanie Mavunga from Ohio state or Victoria Vivians in the 2nd for more scoring punch off the bench. its real early in the game to talk about but i like having these conversations to find out what the future holds.

To repeat, Canada cannot shoot consistently from outside. Lindsay Allen shot 35% from three at Notre Dame; last year, Canada was at 35.4.
I think a lot of Canada, as she is a fine all-around player and a good point guard, but like so many players, she has relied on getting to the rim her entire career and that option will no longer work in the W. To expect her to be much better than Allen would be expecting too much, I think.

What are the minimum shooting percentages for point guards (and does percentage drop from college to pros) ? 35.4 doesn't sound that bad to me.
Career shooting percentage from three:
Kristi Toliver 40.1%
Leilani Mitchell 39.7%
Chelsea Gray 38.9%
Moriah Jefferson 38.7%
Sue Bird 38.6%
Ivory Latta 37.3%
Briann January 37.1%
-------- 35.4% --------------------------------
Renee Montgomery 34.5%
Courtney Vandersloot 32.5%
Jasmine Thomas 32%
Alex Bentley 31.3%
Layisha Clarendon 30.1%
Skylar Diggins 29.6%
Lindsay Whalen 29%
Daniel Robinson - doesn't shoot them

I would guess that ClayK is worried that a 35% shooter in college would be worse from the longer pro line, but yeah, 35% is fine. 34% is typically about the WNBA average from 3pt range. |

The other issue is that New York is in serious need of another three-point shooter so to say Canada is an upgrade in that search is questionable.
For a different team, that doesn't need as much of a perimeter threat from their point guard, Canada could be a good fit, but as I intimated, I don't see Canada as much of an upgrade from Allen.

R. Allen is supposed to be our 3pt specialist, but her shot just isn't there. Maybe this could be where Schimmel might squeeze herself onto the roster next season.
