I understand the logic about playing starters more based on scoring points but I'm not sure I agree with it. These starters are playing a lot of minutes and that's gotta take a toll on their bodies. Plus it puts them at greater risk for injury. Also, how does this help the development of Nika Muhl? She comes in with 1:30 on the clock and the team was up by 20 with 5 minutes to go,? Seems like that would be a perfect opportunity to give her minutes to gain experience and learn as well as taking Skylar out to rest?
Thankfully, most of the team will get a full month break after game 25, just in time for the stretch run. Also, there's been at least a few instances this season where those big leads started to dwindle pretty quickly once the starters sat. I'm sure there's some happy medium that allows for those further down the bench to see more playing time. But, at least so far Muhl makes me a bit nervous when she comes on the floor. I wonder if Coach Quinn doesn't have a good comfort level yet. I'm not sure if the Storm truly are a top 4 or 5 team so far, or if that's a product of their schedule so far. I think the starters will be needed to keep them in the games once they play more winning teams, such as this Friday.
Sure look like a top 5 team stomping the Aces and holding them to 65 points. Bench played a lot with Horston, Sami, and Mercedes. All giving quality minutes. But the starters provided the scoring.
What a game by Ezi ! I’m new to the wnba, so I really didn’t know she had that type of potential. But definitely someone who could be the face of the franchise for years to come
