One of the things I'm most excited about is how the Storm will likely be able to generate points in a number of different ways. Last season, it seemed like when Jewel was out, the offense couldn't generate good shots. With the additions, they should be able to generate good looks through 1) Nneka in the post, 2) SDS P&R with Ezi, others, 3) Jewel coming off screens for a catch and shoot or dribble drive. Best of all, we can stagger minutes to that we have at least 2 of them on the floor at all times.

I love Mercedes Russell's game but I think she at some point will be the next salary dump. She's far too inconsistent for the amount she's paid. Dulcy is just as productive and a cheaper option. Plus if Portland gets a franchise I could see her wanting to return home to play.

I really hope Gabby is able to come back next year and we still have the same group of core players. It would have been extra exciting this season if we were able to have her in the 3 but I understand why she isn't.
Also absolutely love how excited SDS sounds about joining us. Should be a super exciting season!
Great summary of the press conference, as well as the story behind the story. Thank you for providing some of the best coverage of the Seattle Storm.

I wonder if Caitlin Clark will choose not to go pro this year just because she'd be pretty much guaranteed to go to Indiana
