Do you have a link to that? I want to see the context.
They probably were hoping for a successor to Bird. In that case their only other possible options were a deferred Romero or Chong. I think they made a reasonable choice.... nothing to really beat them up over like trading the first round pick.

Peterson is not a pass first PG. Something that is important when your playing with Stewart and Loyd. Hopefully Canada can provide that pass first mentality

People say the same kind of thing about Mitchell, Plum, and Carter. I think it depends on the system.

Peterson was a clear cut when they drafted Canada. Quinn will be the defacto 3rd PG. |
Agreed...However, multiple posters on this board were against Seattle drafting Peterson. |
Why would they be against it? Peterson at #15 seemed like fair value. I kinda wonder if Peterson got a fair shake. She had to develop under Boucek. Someone like Pokey might be able to spin her into gold. |
Dream should give her a training camp contract. If not the Dream, you would think some team would as opposed to some of the random players that are getting invites.

Didn’t SEA kick Quigley to the curb?
Didn’t Pokey stick with Vandersloot despite the first couple years of heavy angst from CHI fans?
Didn’t Pokey convert Faulkner from a third round pick to a guard that CHI fans refuse to deal?
Didn’t Pokey convert Poison into Perrier? (Wheeler reference)
I may be forgetting someone, but that’s not a bad collection right there.

Maybe Hillsman or Potter beats out Crvendakic for a spot?

I've seen quite a bit of Hillsman and Potter and don't think either are W material. But I don't know anything about Crvendakic.

Thanks Stever. well I think we can safely say that neither Potter nor Hillsman will beat her out...but of course they don't remotely play the same position. Looks like a better shooting version of Tak.. She's already wearing the right colors too.

How are storm fans feeling about Crvendakic making the team now after getting a live view of her talents in euroleague over the weekend? I was a bit disappointed but shes not on my team so im interested to hear your thoughts? |
I like her rebounding and effort she puts up but offensively the only thing that ive seen is that she is a good spot up 3pointshooter. And if you compare that with KML then KML is a better shooter. She is a project. She will not get minutes at PF because we are loaded at that position. I dont know if she can defend SF's in the WNBA (maybe in the future) so minutes will be limited there aswell. Because i would rather have Howard play some backup minutes at the SF spot then her. If KML is healthy then i think the names below are locks with 1 spot up for grabs. I wouldnt mind if she got that spot but we also have to look at players that might get waived.
PG: Bird, Canada, Quinn
SG: Loyd, Whitcomb
SF: Clark, KML
PF: Stewart, Howard
C: Langhorne, Paris

OK, now I want to know what the process is that she goes through and what situations she puts her body in.

Boring diet and sobriety? That's my guess at least. She is in INCREDIBLE shape, best in her career.

In terms of 'sacrifice' she also stopped playing overseas long before her earning potential was finished, saving her body for the Storm and TeamUSA. The better move for her bank balance would probably have been to prioritise Dynamo RandomRussianTeam. |
