Fenerbache announced her coming over for the next season (which is WNBA offseason). She will likely play in a front court pairing with Fener-queen Emma Meesseman.

Fenerbache is obviously a very good landing spot for her to develop. The roster is usually stacked with great players. However, they have yet to release their full roster for the offseason.

Angel Reese and Veronica Burton are your East and West players of the week for week 14

I have to get this off my chest.

All these "most [x] in a season!!!" posts are cool, but every time I roll my eyes because *we are in the longest season in WNBA history.* It's just easier to amass points, rebounds, assists, whatever.

I also get tired of the made up stats (across all leagues) that seem to be popping up recently. I'm sure whoever just had the first game with 13.6+ points, 1.9+ rebounds, and 6 fouls in less than ten minutes is proud, but it feels like a reach.

On the flip side, this effect gives me a little extra boost when single game records (shout-out Angel Reese) or season average records fall because they stand out from the load of "most Fitbit steps by a Virgo in a single season" posts.

I don't want anything to /really/ change and we should continue to celebrate accomplishments and records. I just want to yell at my cloud.

Found this really fascinating. There’s so much that goes into making sure that players are comfortable/happy and locked in.

Fiba world cup is the best opportunity to show if she can compete in the wnba for nexts year draft. She's one of the players to watch for when she comes off the bench.

Edit: reworded.

hello! forgive my cornplating, it’s only day 1 of the fiba break and i am suffering withdrawals. i noticed that the dream have these cool electric blue accessories like the leggings, sleeves, headbands, etc with their rebel kits. i was wondering if they’re the only team to have non-black-and-white accessories this season?

this cool article talks about the origins of the one-legged sleeve, and in it you can see that some teams have had colorful accessories in the past.

hypothetically, what teams to do you think could incorporate another color into their kits’ accessories? or do you think it’s distracting? as a valkyries fan, i think their signature violet would look great as a headband or sleeve, specifically with their white kits.

hope everyone is coping well with the fiba break!

How often is there a break? I haven’t been around for long. This World Cup break, Olympics. How often does WNBA break season for other event? 2 year cycle?

She does so much for the game and for women’s sports. Let’s send her some love. I’m sure she could use it right now.

What are the season ticket prices looking like for your teams? I’m on the list for Comets season tickets and so far they’ve just sent out the pricing for floor seats (which is of course steep: 42k-11k for a season ticket). They haven’t released anything else but wondering how everyone else’s is looking/stacking up?

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!

Anything you want to discuss non-basketball related? Others sports? Fashion? Tv? Personal life?

This is your weekly thread to do so!

The break is upon us! It's World Cup season! I made a list of all the active WNBA players who are on different World Cup rosters, in case anyone else is interested in watching their favourite players on their countries' teams. I only included anyone on a W roster right now (DPs included) and used FIBA's roster tracker to confirm. There's at least one active W player on every roster except Puerto Rico's and every W team has at least one player on a World Cup roster! Let me know if I missed anyone.

The Monday column at No Cap Space WBB is back, for those that said they enjoyed when it would be posted here.

- How Team USA gets tactical without A’ja Wilson
- Atlanta’s mental growth in Lynx win
- Why Phoenix is the big loser of the trade deadline
- Angel Reese’s ceiling unlocking along the margins
- A look back at women’s basketball history and how a push that nearly eliminated the game 100 years ago may be re-emerging now

Happy reading!

As strengths of schedules have flipped from earlier in the year, GSV and Atlanta have shown they can look dominant for long stretches and make statement wins against top contenders. Fever stay consistent as the only team top 3 in Net for 3 months in a row. Minnesota has looked strong but beatable for the last two months as other teams in the playoff hunt have hit their stride. It seems the rising state of competition and tough strength of schedule have brought MN down to earth a bit even with the return of Phee. Las Vegas has also looked less dominant, while NY and Washington have been on the rise. Even Dallas has started to look like they are adjusting to Azzi's absence figuring out how to utilize the roster. While some teams will have betters odds than others, it is looking like you can't really count any of the playoff teams out of contention.

Lately I’ve seen a lot of posts using stats and metrics to prove a point. I thought it would be fun to get old fashioned and to have a discussion without looking things up.

If anyone would ask you: which WNBA player has the best defense, but at the same time sucks the most at offense? Who would a coach throw in the game if they desperately need defense, but would not expect any buckets to be made?
What would your answer be?

Vice versa (best offense, worst defense) I would say KP is the top candidate. But maybe I’m wrong?
