What a great game for the Storm where they almost pulled off a huge upset victory. Dulcy Fankam Menjiadeu was magnificent with a very impressive double-double of 12 pts. and 14 rebounds in her very first start ever. That was pretty amazing. She gives us 3 rookies who are making major contributions already in Jordan Horston, Ivana Dojkic and now Dulcy Fankam Menjiadeu. Jade Melbourne is our other promising rookie but she's a baby at barely 20yo and probably won't see significant playing time this year especially with our "rookie veteran" Ivana Dojkic playing so well.
Obviously, there have not been a lot of encouraging moments this year. The game at Connecticut might have been the worst, but today's game was as good as the Sun game was bad. Dulcy had a sweet game, and it really seems like they've found something in her. The game seems to be slowing down for her (most of the time), and you can see her confidence growing by the minute. She and Jordan brought energy and physicality that has been missing in action for much of the year. At times, the Liberty looked surprised by the physicality and fight the Storm brought. It was also encourgaging that Quinn let them play the entire fourth quarter. They earned that opportunity. I hope there will be more such opportunities for them.
