I hear San Antonio after she clears waivers. There is more to it I heard earlier but what do y'all think so far?
(I posted this in the Dream Waives thread but maybe some San Antonio fans and others wouldn't see it there so I gave it its own thread.)

Let's look at the roster pre-Wauters.
PG: Hammon/Darling/Lawson-Wade
SG: Johnson/Crossley
SF: Buescher/Snell
PF: Young/Riley
C: Ngoyisa/Feenstra
That means they have to cut the following from their current roster: #14 pick, Atunrase, Berezhynska, Irvin, Ross. All of those are expendable although I would have liked to see Atunrase play a little more.
Anyways, that means that when Wauterrs returns, either Ngoyisa or Feenstra will have to go.

Yeah Feenstra-Mattera (still Feenstra on wnba.com) was young and upcoming in San Antonio (acquired from Connecticut for Dydek IIRC), and then Detroit's Ruth Riley needed a change and San Antonio needed championship experience, so they swapped.
Now we will have Ruth and 6'8" Katie, and hopefully Ann too as said.  We seem to play a lot of halfcourt ball anyway and Katie would be an asset for that IMO. |
If San Antonio signs her where does that leave Bernadette Ngoyisa. Will there still be room for her on the roster? |
Nope...no room. They have to drop someone else. I think we have 13 on the training camp roster right now.
I have no idea if you can sign someone for part of a season to fill in for Ann or how that might work or if it's an option. Maybe someone else knows? |

Well Ngoyisa was supposed to fill in until Ann arrived, nonguaranteed, but I have heard nothing more. Once again, I can't count  , darn would like to keep them both.
I don't know about the draft pick, guess will wait and see.

The thing is, San Antonio has a system; Atlanta was a mess. All she needs to do in San Antonio is be Ruth Riley-light. Set screens, play some defence, and if you can avoid taking those god-awful 20-foot outside shots Riley takes, even better. Atlanta never had a system or a defined role for her to fill in it.
And lets face it, she can't be any more of a waste of space than Sandora Irvin.

LOL - good one. Of course, she would feel very at home in SA, with born-again Becky and Crossley and Ruth ...

LOL, She's just a different type of wasted space.

She's four inches taller and much heavier. In that sense, she's more of a wasted space.

Oddly enough, reading this set of quotes with Caune's avatar just below I got an image of Becky pants-ing Feenstra.

Considering their #14 will likely be better than Lawson-Wade in some many ways, I'd prefer to see her off the team.
PG: Hammon/Darling
SG: Johnson/Crossley
SF: Buescher/Snell
PF: Young/draft pick
C: Riley/Feenstra/Ngoysisa
sadly, either Ngoysisa or their draft pick gets waived once Wauters arrives.

I thought there were times in Detroit where she looked a whole lot better than the more 'talented' and 'versatile' Braxton.

Not my Katie! I'm just glad she gets to be on a roster (I hope). Yeah, she might not boast the best record, but I love watching her play. |
