Poor Burke.....Gustaffson needs a few years overseas imo. |
Really, based really on a game and a half of preseason action? |
Based off what i saw with my own eyes against the worst team in the WNBA as of last season. Shes not ready to guard 5's in this league. McCowan pushed her around sunday and McCowan still has a long way to go herself . Maybe Gustaffson gets another shot elsewhere but i dont think she dropped to 17 by coincidence.

WNBA09,
What did you have as your final roster projection prior to the final cuts? How do you feel about the roster now that it's final? Do you have any idea or heard anything on when Moriah will join the group?

No news on Moriah , im fine with the final roster other than the obvious blunder of Hill over burke but i understand the reasoning .

WNBA09,
I would really like to know the mindset of Moriah at this point, to me, it doesn't matter whose on the roster and who's not now that everything is final, however, it does matter that everyone involved is locked in, happy, on the same page and actually WANTS to be in Dallas!!!
I'm just so tired of the bs when the cameras are rolling, but you feel some type of way on the inside. If you wanna live in NY or LA, don't sign with a team in a city other than where you actually desire to play....you're not gonna hurt our feelings if you don't wanna live or play here, it's one less person I have to deal with in traffic😆

Not sure if this was in reference to MoJeff, but as she's from the greater Dallas area, I would guess she's not unhappy to return to her home area.

Gustafson scoring so much in college made her draft worthy, though in some cases it may not compute into being a WNBA star. Banham for example. Seasoning overseas might help, but in some cases like Akhator who had good stats overseas, then gets cut, it's hard to predict what will happen. I was hoping Gustafson would go on a scoring/rebounding spree and make decisions hard. Neither Gustafson nor Mccowan looked pro ready, but either could be later on.

| Quote: |
The Wings were granted the opportunity to sign Gustafson following a series of events that have depleted the 12-player roster. Tayler Hill will undergo knee surgery within the coming days and will be out indefinitely, Glory Johnson will depart for Eurobasket to compete with Montenegro following the Wings game against Atlanta on Saturday, June 15 and rookie Arike Ogunbowale is doubtful for tonight’s game against Indiana due to an ankle injury sustained in the team’s outing at Washington on June 9.
|
So I’m guessing they can use the hardship exemption due to Hill & Ogunbowale being injured in season right?_________________

| It sounds like they qualify for both types of hardship. It also means that Dallas will have to cut Gustafson at some point. It's a bit weird because 3 of 4 players mentioned are guards. That suggests Megan is there to fill in for Glory. Maybe another move coming?

They should have Jefferson back soon as well. That would put them at 11 with Gustafson.
PG: McCarty-Williams/Jefferson
SG: Gray/Davis
SF: Thornton
PF: Stevens/Plaisance
C: McGee-Stafford/Gustafson
But until Jefferson is ready, expect a lot of playing time for Davis.

Can’t make sense of your roster, toad. You’d be perfect for the Wings’ staff.
Harrison still plays for the Wings.
Ogunbowale isn’t out indefinitely, but she’s out for tonight’s game.
Johnson is still playing for a couple more games.
Jefferson is suspended and already being subbed for so it wouldn’t make sense for her to be a part of the cap exception calculation.

| I guess I should have done my own research first rather than simply accepting what was implied by the articles. If the Wings website can be trusted, Dallas has 13 players before adding Gustafson. Jefferson is there but suspended. At the moment, she does count against the cap but not the roster spot or injury count. Skylar is not playing, but I assume she's getting paid so she's on the roster classified as disabled. Hill is injured long-term. Those two probably qualify Dallas for a Hardship Exemption. In addition, Ogunbowale is out short-term. Three players unable to play qualifies them for an Emergency Hardship exemption. If they want to keep Gustafson around for a while, then they probably used the regular Hardship. There used to be a waiting period involved with these requests, but I guess either they no longer exist or Dallas has met them. If Glory is still here for another couple of games, then bringing in Gustafson now rather than a guard is a bit strange. I would think more moves are planned.

So I forgot Harrison, whoops. Gustafson is just filling in for Johnson. Jefferson is expected to start playing by the end of June. If Diggins joins by the All-Star break, then someone else needs to go.
PG: McCarty-Williams/Jefferson^
SG: Gray/Ogunbowale*/Davis
SF: Thornton
PF: Stevens/Plaisance
C: Harrison/McGee-Stafford/Gustafson
^currently suspended
*currently injured
