Things we know:

1. Wings defense is garbage, always has been, and probably won't change with the same squad plus a ton of rookies.

2. Chong may very well be a more complete/better player than Bias. But since Wings GM is just a trash as their defense, she will probably get cut after this game.

3. Akhator is smaller than she is listed(?), underdeveloped and probably not the next Glory Johnson.

4. In only 16 minutes Kayla Thornton arguably outperformed the whole team in the last preseason game.

5. Our top 3 picks could brick a rock off the edge of an ocean.

Questions that need answers:

1. Where the hell is Glory?

2. Will Davis be better than Gray?

3. Is it too late for Akhator to be a WNBA level player?

4. Will we get 2014-2015 Skylar or 2016 Skylar? And will getting the latter make these bad news Wings playoff contenders?

5. Most importantly, will they improve their defense?? Also, how will it impact them this season?

6. Can all 5 rookies make the team (I'm counting Thorton as a rookie) and still allow them to have a successful season?

7. Will Powers improve her game or At least duplicate her rookie season coming off an injury?

So many question marks surrounding the Wings, but these are what stand out the most to me. Anyone care to give their prediction/opinion on these questions?

Whatever came of that prohibited substance issue with Johnson? I wonder if it became an issue with the WNBA? Although, I would think somebody like Megdal would have smelled a big story and been all over it if it were an issue. Maybe Johnson and Dallas are sick if each other and Dallas is looking for a trade? Maybe Johnson just wants extended time with the kids. Does she bring the kids with her overseas?

Will Davis get the opportunity to show she's better than Gray?

Or is it too early? It's only two weeks into her first WNBA training camp.

A lot has happened. She married her childhood sweetheart. How will that change things if anything? Do her priorities change? Is she really that much better than the rest of the team, and how much does she run the show? Nobody here seems to think she's a serious MVP candidate.

Thornton would be 6 rookies, but I'm not counting her as a rookie. She's been through two Mystics training camps, but I can't recall if she got any playing time. The real rookies are the Fab Five, and they're already rockstars. They must stick together. It's a great story for Dallas and their GM, and they're all actually a good fit.

Seems like she'll be missing time, so it's not looking good on that one.

Nope, not me. Wink

In the pic, B Lewis is posing, listed at 6'5".
Akhator is almost certainly taller than Davis.

They all look happy and ready to play.

It looks like UConn is having commencement this weekend (both days, depending on your school) so Chong may be there.
