Waaaah — ang tagal mag-announce ng cuts. So anyway here’s my blah-blah-blah about the whole thing:<\/p>\n
<\/strong>\u3001ESURE-AS-HELL LOCKS \u3001E\/p><\/p>\n \u2460 Lauren Jackson and Sue Bird<\/strong> — ‘Nuff said. All hell will break loose if Seattle ever releases these two. Fresh off a successfull overseas season in Russia, LJ and Birdy should be back and ready in green before opening night.<\/p>\n \u2461 Swin Cash<\/strong> — She’s looking and playing great and is almost back to her pre-ACL days. I wasn’t really thrilled initially with the Storm signing her but I think Swin’s gonna be a big factor in days to come.<\/p>\n \u2462 Sheryl Swoopes<\/strong> — I was initially awed when the Storm signed Swoopes. I mean, she is an All-Star, an Olympian, an All-Decade Team Member (wait — we had all those in Bird and Jackson). But Swoopes was also rumored to be retiring soon. And she’s got quite a number of minor injuries *every* game so far. But I think she’s also a great scoring threat and if she takes care of herself well enough (no major injuries please), she’s gonna be a huge part of the puzzle. Plus it doesn’t hurt to have a sort-of Assistant Coach in uniform.<\/p>\n \u2463 Yolanda Griffith<\/strong> — Enough gas in the tank, I think. Without Janelle Burse (Jones Injury) this season, she’d have to be responsible for many minutes in the 5 spot. I’m not yet sure how Agler would rotate the players but with her, Swin, A.Rob, Kelly Santos, and of course LJ, our post is certainly not thin.<\/p>\n \u3001EOF COURSE THEY’RE IN \u3001E\/p><\/p>\n \u2460\u3000Katie Gearlds<\/strong> — KG might have been a bubble player for a while (I read about the “white on rice” thing that Agler told her several weeks ago) but judging from her performance in the Indiana Pre-Season Game, she’s definitely in.<\/p>\n \u2461\u3000Ashley Robinson<\/strong> — Pretty solid on both ends of the court. Yo can certainly need a reliever like her for the 5 spot.<\/p>\n \u2462 Shyra Ely<\/strong> — Huge improvement and great defense.<\/p>\n \u2463 Kelly Santos — <\/strong>I’m not really familiar with her and I haven’t seen her play yet but I read some favorable feedback about her in SF.org so I guess she’s okay.<\/p>\n \u3001EIN THE BUBBLE \u3001E\/p><\/p>\n \u2460 Tanisha Wright <\/strong>— Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that she’s improved (heh) and whatever and her defense is good and her shot is good, too, but SHE IS NOT A POINT GUARD demmit! She’s prolly a decent SG\/SF, at best.<\/p>\n \u2461 Kimberly Beck — <\/strong>Now, Beck is a Point Guard, albeit a traditional one (pass first, shoot second). There’s positive feedback about her all over sf.org and she’d be a solid back-up to Birdy. I hope Agler keeps her.<\/p>\n \u2462 Daphanie Kennedy<\/strong> — Betty Lennox Jr., according to Scotts Game Report. Hahaha. Okay, we all know I’m not really partial to Betty. I think Kennedy’s out.<\/p>\n \u2463 Kristen O’Neill — <\/strong>I’m not really sure. Is she competing with Gearlds for the same spot? She’s scrappy, she’s got great baller IQ, but with KG’s performance, it doesn’t look good for this UW stand-out. I wish Agler would keep her though.<\/p>\n \u2464 Hodges Twins<\/strong> — I don’t even want to elaborate. They’re experienced but I’m not really comfortable with them in Storm uniforms and they haven’t shown any impact in the games. I hope Agler doesn’t stick with the vets and chuck these two out.<\/p>\n MY PICKS => <\/strong>Beck, one of the twins, and Wright (I knoooowwww … tssss … basta di siya back-up PG ah!) I want O’Neill in too, but I’d be very happy if Agler keeps at least one rookie. Come on, masyado na geriatric ang Storm!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Waaaah — ang tagal mag-announce ng cuts.
