Jeff: I'm curious as to if/how the Storm (and also the Aces) are able to support draft-and-stash types who are injured and obviously won't play this year (i.e. Holmes, Kitley)? I would assume they're not signed to any type of contract (for cap reasons), but it seems clearly in a team's best interest to help them with the rehab process and the development process. I'll guess there's no formal mechanism, and they're left on the their own, which would be yet another way that the WNBA gets in its own way. I'd love for you to tell me I'm wrong...
Nice in-depth article on tomorrow's WNBA draft. I learned quite a bit from it. I'll be very interested to see who they Storm draft at #14 and if they draft for this season or next. It kind of looks like "draft and stash" may be the best route to take especially for one of those injured players. If they're drafting for this season, I would be in favor of them drafting one of the better foreign PG's. We'll see!
Thanks for this enlightening article. Go Storm!!

I love the Nika Muhl pick!
