Dallas has reportedly signed Haley Jones to something called a "rest of the season" contract, which sounds promising for Jones!

for those who say about haley that a 6'1 player with a 28% 3-point average is a tweener with no place in the wnba, i believe kayla thornton of the valkyries is now an all-star with those metrics.

True, not a great shooter. But a career 32% from 3 is "good enough" given that she's an excellent rebounder and can guard all 5 positions. She is VERY good defensively. That was one of the other things mentioned about Haley - she's limited on who she can guard.

FWIW, I don't think Thornton is an all-star caliber player (there are many others who have had better seasons), but they had to pick one all-star from GSV because they've had such a good inaugural year. She's probably the best choice, from a team that really defends well.
