Arob at least played a role in there success at one point in her career

She was our cheerleader in 2010 when we won the championship. She barely played but she was good friends with a lot of the starters and got along with everybody

That year yes but the difference was she actually SAW PLAYING TIME vs faris who just keeps the seat warm ALL SEASON

Robinson played 245 minutes in 2010. Faris played 317 minutes last season.

True. Dream looks bad. At least they have a bona fide All-Star.

You guys are still comparing just 2010 im speaking her career with the storm as a whole . she had more effect on the team than faris. Either way Faris is still on the team and no one still has yet to explain why?

BOOYAH!

Took a year off for personal reasons. Stayed with her overseas club instead of going to camp even though she is marginal on the WNBA level. Didn't really want the job bad enough.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why are you so hyped for players getting waived?

Because he must've predicted she'd get cut and ended up being right. Sort of like how I get all excited when I predict the Lynx to lose and end up being right. Smile

Well, to be honest, she took last year off to do something about her bible class or some useless shit. Who cares anyways, glad shes gone from the Sun. Some other dumb team is sure to pick her up though.

i remember people stating they never saw anything official but i didnt invest that much time to see if it were true or not . But seeing her name pop up here again as if shes still apart makes me wish i did.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (May 9, 2017) – The Connecticut Sun announced today it has signed 6-foot-1 forward Adaora Elonu to a training camp contract.

To make room on the 15-player training camp roster, the Sun waived forward Reshanda Gray. The Sun must cut down to their final roster of 12 by Friday at 5 p.m.

Gray getting cut was predictable, but who is this player they signed? I've never heard of her.

So she plays for one day, only likely to get get tomorrow? Maybe she'll take Faris' spot on the final roster?

Can't imagine there would be any interest in a six-year vet who averages less the 4 ppg and who has been looking less and less like she belongs over time.

Pedersen seems like the kind of player teams will call midseason when they've had injuries and need a post who can come in and play a few minutes without looking lost. I doubt there's exactly a charge to claim her off waivers. _________________ Independent WNBA coverage: http://www.wnbalien.com/

I don't see anywhere that says Hightower was waived. I've checked wnba.com..the Sun website....lots of players waived yesterday but I see nothing of Ali being cut...I'm not saying it didn't happen and I do think the last spot is between Ali and Kelly Faris.... the advantage Faris has is two fold, she's played in the Miller system and she's been injury free.
