The bigger story is Haley Jone was cut by Atlanta. Their new coach (from FGCU) runs a high velocity, heavy trey offense, so she seemed like a poor fit, but it's wild to see Carrington, Smith, Samuelson, Hull start and/or garner major minutes on good teams and Jones didn't even make it to a third year on a roster.
Genuinely curious where she goes from here - she's extremely likeable, but one of the least continuing-to-develop players I've ever seen wear a Stanford jersey.
I'm pleasantly surprised at how well Lexie Hull has developed in the league. I think a lot of people were shocked she went as high as No. 6 - but I think she is proving her worth this season. She's playing with a lot of confidence and you can tell she has worked hard on her game.
Jones being cut wasn't all that surprising if you think about it. Her versatility hasn't been an asset to Atlanta so far and she really hasn't found her niche in the league... yet. Will be interesting to see if anyone picks her up.
Also hoping Cam continues to heal from her ACL tear - i think she has a lot of potential as well.
