Please let us get Kate Martin & Nika Muhl 35minutes :lol:


This is why expansion is critical. Nika Muhl is actually a pretty good two way player that can't get time because she's playing behind hall of fame talent. I know she's popular because she's into fashion and stuff but she really should be getting reps on a team that is rebuilding/in development mode.


Yeah exactly.

I need to see her defense and guard skills at the pro level. I'm glad Celeste Taylor got released by Fever and got to see her in game for the Mercury. No out outside the Storm coaching staff knows how pro ready Muhl is.

Also wondering if Nika will be protected by Storm. I'd love if Valkyrie picked up young players with potential as well as veterans for next season.




Nika can hoop

I'm glad we got to see extended time for the deep bench: Grace Berger, Saxton, & Wallace.

Kristy Wallace can get some buckets! She played a lot in the beginning of the season and she definitely has game. Olympian for a reason.

Berger & Saxton: only played 4th quarter I think, but I liked what I saw. Good handles, knows where to go, swings the ball well. She just didn't look out of place to me and that's huge. Saxton looked good on offense and grabbing boards. Not sure what her actual position is, but she looked good as an undersized big.

If Wallace doesn't get Katie Lou's minutes in the playoffs, Sides should be fired. But I think Wallace will.

Yeah we'll see. There is no other forward on the Fever that can come in and matchup with bigger forwards off the bench. Maybe Smith plays a lot more to help. Wheeler will most likely play as the backup guard

I like this. I feel like The Sparks' coach is on some BS. I'd sign her. She's 25 and 6'7. If she can improve her 3 point shot she's a solid rotation piece.

Eh I dunno Katie Lou is a big. Clark is probably playing the entire game in the playoffs. I really don't see minutes for Wallace. I don't think that either her or Wheeler should play

Clark, Boston, Mitchell, Smith, Hull, Temi are probably getting the most minutes if I had to predict it
