Ashten was cut by the Mystics, which was not necessarily surprising, but a little sad because she showed out in her limited minutes.

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.

You nailed it on the head with Atlanta's new coach and the heavy trey offense. Jone's worst aspect of her game is perimeter shooting. I'm not sure she gets picked up by another team. Her lack of a jump shot is still perplexing considering it never improved at Stanford, hasn't improved in the WNBA and hasn't improved even playing overseas this last offseason. It begs the question how much time and commitment has she really put into improving. Idk but some results should show at some point if the hard work is happening. Hoping though she finds a new landing spot.

 
Perhaps Golden State can give her a shot.
