WNBA's health care insurance premiums should go down a bit next year.

Pointless to bring in one of the best young players in Europe and potentially deepen your rotation for the playoffs, while hopefully introducing her to your franchise for future seasons? |

So what is the deadline for brining in a playoff ringer? (Not that the Lynx should need ringers.)
Her FIBA profile says 6'1" SF. Don't see how that helps with Whalen and Brunson possibly out, unless they think Moore can move to the 4.

I'd be willing to bet she plays less than 10 minutes.

So what? What's wrong with bringing her over even if she never logs a game minute?

Please point out where I said there was anything wrong with it.
In fact, I've gone out of my way to argue against those who complain MN plays their starters too many minutes in another thread.

Well if that's not what you meant, I apologize, but I read it as a retort to Richyyy's comment saying she'd only play 10 minutes (so yes it was pointless).

but is she any better than Shao Ting who was their last cut and would have made the roster if they could've kept 12 players?

This. I'm excited that this came through for us. Can't wait to have her for the rest of the season and hopefully having her come over for more years to come!

Yes she is better and with a lot more potential. Augustus and Perkins are getting older. Getting a wing backup for the future is a good step

Will she even get to play ? Does she leap frog Temi on the depth chart ? Id hate to see a player come over and ride the bench which is probably whats going to happen here .

She's listed as a forward. Are you saying she has guard skills?

I doubt Zandalasini plays much, coming into a veteran team late in the season, especially one coached by Cheryl Reeve. But it does give them an extra option, and attaches a 21-year old who lit up EuroBasket Women a couple of months ago (on an otherwise weak Italian team) to the Lynx franchise. It's a smart move.
And yeah, much as I hate to say it, she probably is more ready to contribute at WNBA level than Fagbenle, except for the issue of joining an established team a week before the end of the regular season. |

No, she would've been eligible in 2016, and went undrafted. So she's an unrestricted free agent in WNBA terms. |
