"STRICKLEE" BUSINESS
STORM'S SHEKINNA STRICKLEN
COULD STEAL NNEKA'S SHINE
COULD STEAL NNEKA'S SHINE
Shekinna Stricklen put up 15 points against the Los Angeles Sparks in a tight preseason matchup that had the Seattle edging LA 61-60. Also grabbed 4 boards. I think she'll be pivotal in helping Sue Bird hold things down while Lauren Jackson is away Down Under.
RIQUNA WILLIAMS
I knew Riquna would do well but when she dropped 17 points against the Dream I thought she could make All Rookie Team. In her second games she racked up 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals against the Storm.
GLORY JOHNSON
Had the same point total as teammate Riquna battling Seattle but with 5 steals and 3 assists. Earlier in preseason she had 11 pts and 5 rebounds versus the Dream. Safe to say Tulsa won't be 3-31 this season.
SHENISE JOHNSON
Yeah. Got 11 points to go against the Fever the first time around (May 5th). Got 15 more against the Fever the second go w/4 rebounds and 3 assists as side orders. She will be fun to watch. I'd have Tully B. coming off the bench and Shenise starting if I were Dan Hughes.
KATELAN REDMON
Don't know if she'll make the roster but nothing can take away her 10 points and 3 boards for the Liberty against the Sun May 7th.
SAMANTHA PRAHALIS
Expect lots of no-look passes that would make Ticha Penicheiro proud. In 19 minutes of play, "Styles P", as they call her dished off 7 passes to go along with her 7 points against the Japanese Team.
NATALIE NOVOSEL
Natalie Novosel collected a surprising 6 rebounds against the Connecticut Sun in recent preseason play.
Ladies and gentlemen, the woman's pro game is a hard fought game -- even before the regular season starts. Very cutthroat. Only 12 teams and 11 spots per roster. The best of the best. And yet some of the best may still not get a chance. While I salute these players I ask that the WNBA keep expansion on its list of priorities while avoiding the earlier mistakes made by branching out too much too soon.
Now go on with your bad self.
