You’ve got to use context when describing Carter. With all due respect to her teammates, her job was to put the ball in the hoop, not look like Penicheiro.

Atlanta already has a lot of players who think their job is to put the ball in the hoop. I think we may see some fireworks down yonder. Maybe passing becomes obsolete.

Of course Carter can score, and I'm pretty sure she'll be successful in the WNBA. But the "point guard" is the one who gets the team into certain offensive sets as she isn't the primary option every time down.
Will Carter be comfortable giving up the ball a higher percentage of the time than she did in college? Of course the answer could be yes, but it also could be no, and she may just look to score too much because that's what she's always done.
I think it's a legitimate question, and it will be interesting to see how it's answered.

Are they changing the costume or just the person in it?

WNBA teams are getting their rosters down to 15 rather quickly. Dream sit at 17 currently. I wonder who they'll cut or suspend soon? Babkina?

If it were up to me to get to 15, I'd cut Dietrick and Thornton. Though I don't know if teams are able to cut someone they just drafted without giving the player a chance in training camp. There's probably that kind of contractual provision for all drafted rookies, since I don't think I've seen a team do that (unless the player fails their physical).

Thornton is one of my favorite Wings. I can't imagine how she would get to the top of anybody's 'cut' list.

Different Thornton .
And yes, you can cut draftees before camp (has indeed happened once or twice in recent times). Although, if you believe the signings being reported on WNBA.com's Transactions page, Thornton is actually one of the four players left who hasn't yet signed her rookie contract anyway. No need to waive/suspend/whatever someone if they don't sign their contract in the first place. |

Kelly is only polling at 11%. Could she join the Dream in last place?
