This year's cuts seemed particularly cruel. All that talent out there, wasted.
Is Hamblin a new cut? I had thought she'd made a roster last year, but I can't remember which team. Really too bad about Karli - she seemed to be playing really well in those pre-season games. I wish she had been drafted by one of the less competitive WNBA teams. I feel like Dallas or Chicago would have put her talents to better use than LA could.

Some thought she should have made it over Wiese. http://boards.rebkell.net/viewtopic.php?...14#1518614

If so, that's great. Contrary to one of the posts that was linked to, she is more than a one-trick pony. I think too many people believe their own preconceived ideas.

Great news! So glad to hear it.
Yeah, that hot take was stone cold. She's a great defender as well as a sharpshooter, not to mention All-PAC-12 and tournament all-regional honoree. Between her injuries and our lack of another really credible 3-point threat, I don't think we got to use her as much as she is capable of.

Karlie got to play today and had a pretty nice debut game. 12 minutes, 3 points (though on only 1/6 shooting), 2 rebounds, and 2 fouls. She looked competent on defense, even spending some time guarding Maya Moore. Karlie got a lot more court time than Sydney Wiese. She even was subbed in for the last 5.8 second possession and caught the inbound pass. She passed it to Chelsea Gray, who dribbled in and hit a buzzer beater for a 1-point win. The win over the Lynx was a big upset considering how shorthanded the Sparks were.
