This looks like a fun line up for the 3PC. Looking forward to it.

Have they announced a separate line-up for the skills challenge, or are they going to combine both events and use the same players? Or are the players going to find out they’ve been selected at 1:30 that afternoon?

As far as I can tell the league has decided that we do not need to know yet

I believe Jackie Young is in the Skills Comp, so that implies a different set of players. It also explains why the WNBA's 3rd best three point shooter by percentage isn't in the 3 point event even though she's at the ASG.

It looks like the WNBA wanted to save on travel expenses and only took all-stars and a Chicago player.

Granted, it's a tiny sample size. But Katie Benzan shot 71.4% from three in her time with the Mystics.

To be fair, shooting 3s in a 3-point contest is not the same as shooting in-game. It's a fun competition. Where they rank on the season in-game isn't too important to me.

They're not going to put someone in the contest who isn't currently in the league. |

Obviously.. point of the post was to imply that I wish she were so she could participate.

I assumed that they talked Quigley into competing for the benefit of hometown fans. But I forgot it won't be in front of hometown fans.

I think it's kind of strange to have a skills challenge with a partner. What if your partner sucks?
Yeah, I don't like this.

It's a test of leadership. Can you make your teammate better?

No, they have a high school player as a teammate. The high schooler does a dribble weave, make a pass into a target, then come back and make a layup. They give the ball to the WNBA player who does the same thing, but then has to dribble back down court and make a three.
