All Things Basketball with GD - 2023 Season, WNBA 2nd Half Outlook and Midseason Awards

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,560
Greetings my peeps and welcome to the all things basketball podcast with your boy GD.

2
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:19,320
In this episode I'll be talking about the second half of the WNBA season, how I think

3
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:27,360
things will shake out between the teams and so forth and then also my mid-season awards.

4
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:33,360
Now how I think things will shake out in terms of the awards so I'll talk about all of it.

5
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:44,960
Just sit back relax and enjoy the show.

6
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:52,040
Okay guys so it's your boy GD once again with the all things basketball with GD podcast and

7
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:59,920
our last episode we did a recap of the WNBA the all-star weekend we covered that nailed

8
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:07,520
everything down so now I want to take a look at the second half of the WNBA season and

9
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:14,800
see how things progress from there so let's get right into it folks.

10
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,480
What I'll do I'll just go by record and then we'll work our way down.

11
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:27,040
So first we have the Las Vegas Aces with their 19 and 2 record which is the fourth best start

12
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,880
in WNBA history.

13
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:37,200
Of course the Aces engine just keeps rolling along you got Chelsea Gray over there of course

14
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:45,440
the leader and as well as Aja Wilson your MVP, Kelsey Plum who's been red hot lately and

15
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,960
of course Jackie Young.

16
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,880
All them playing well right now so and they're seem like they're just hitting their stride

17
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:59,440
although they had a little speed bump towards the end with the loss to Dallas.

18
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,520
They're hoping to get Candace Parker back she had the ankle injury that kept her out

19
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,920
a few games coming out of the second half they hope to get Candace Parker back in there.

20
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:18,560
They still have three games with the number 2C the New York Liberty so you'll have that

21
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,920
stretch of games and then also they're going to have a difficult stretch guys because Becky

22
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:31,280
Hammond induction ceremony for the Hall of Fame is falling on August 12th and they have

23
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,880
a game actually two game sandwiched between that.

24
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:43,120
So my thought is she's going to miss either one of those games or both of those games.

25
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:51,120
They are home games nonetheless guys but remember the induction ceremony is going to be in Massachusetts

26
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,160
so you're talking about going cross country so my bet is that she's probably going to

27
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:04,120
miss those two games and those games are going to be against the Washington Mystics and the

28
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,720
Atlanta Dream so these are no cupcake game guys.

29
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:14,440
I would be interested to see how they make out with Becky Hammond missing those two games

30
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:21,640
so keep your eye on that guys as far as the Las Vegas aces go but you know they're rolling

31
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:27,960
along like I said and so forth so that's the only hiccup I see and of course the Liberty

32
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:35,560
games could probably go either way so but we'll see what happens.

33
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,520
That's the aces story.

34
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaking of let's talk about the New York Liberty the number two C right now at 14 and

35
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:51,640
four so they still have about 22 games left so a little more than half the season to go.

36
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,600
Their whole thing is they they have to stay ahead of Connecticut Sun.

37
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:02,120
The Sun is right there with them they have two more games in their pocket than the Liberty

38
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,640
so it's incumbent upon the Liberty to you know with those two games they have ahead to get

39
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:14,720
those wins and then like I said with the aces the Liberty have those three games against

40
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,580
the aces so what they do in those games could hold a lot of weight as far as their seating

41
00:04:20,580 --> 00:04:26,880
going forward with the Sun breathing down their neck and then they're hoping to get

42
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,400
Stephanie Dolson back she's had that ankle injury that's kept her out for a while now

43
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,320
so hopefully they can get her back and then they'll really be at full strength and the

44
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:43,400
question is can Sabrina and Eskoo carry that all-star momentum into the second half of

45
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:50,120
the season I would say yes she ended the first half of the season with a monster game and

46
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,360
then she comes into the weekend and we know what she did in the three-point contest and

47
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:02,240
then in the game itself so I think she carries it over of course she got Breanna Stewart there

48
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:10,160
the leader the alpha if you will so of course Sabrina's going to defer to her but hey Breanna's

49
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:17,280
hasn't been shy about letting Sabrina shine so I don't see any issues going forward and

50
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:24,720
my question will be now that John Quill Jones has had the rest will we see a better John

51
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:32,760
Quill Jones coming out of the second half I would think so also that Naji Laney she's

52
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:39,480
been very good this year taking that really secondary secondary role if you will but

53
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:46,640
she went called upon she's been money of course she have Vanda Slute running the show so guys

54
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:53,040
they're in pretty good shape I must say so we'll see what happens to them down the stretch

55
00:05:53,040 --> 00:06:00,920
then we go to the third see the Connecticut Sun right now at 15 and five they are holding

56
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:08,440
the Fort guys will listen Thomas and the one of Bonner they must continue the ball guys

57
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:15,000
they've been balling all season long especially since you don't have a Breanna Jones there

58
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:22,240
you're definitely going to need their reduction the maturation of D. Jean a Carrington that's

59
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:27,680
been a help for them as well as she's been coming off the bench for them Tiffany Hazes

60
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:33,040
been stepping up she's been stepping up as of late so you probably want a little bit

61
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:41,280
more from Rebecca Allen and from Natisha Heidemann and then will we see more minutes for Olivia

62
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:46,920
Nelson Adoda their center there because I think eventually you're going to have to get

63
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:53,000
some solid center play they've been able to be above water thanks to coach Stephanie

64
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,120
White so the Connecticut Sun looking good guys looking good and look like they're rolling

65
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:06,160
along so and that's your third seed then we go to Washington Washington Mystics at 11

66
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:13,240
and eight health has been the thing with them guys they need a healthy Elena Deladon you

67
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,640
know she had the ankle issues the ankle that she rolled twice in the first half of the

68
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:25,360
season and then Shakira Austin with her hip now we should hear some news guys coming out

69
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,560
of the All-Star break supposed to be this week guys we're supposed to hear some Shakira

70
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:36,240
Austin news so hopefully we'll get some good feedback in that regard so hopefully she'll

71
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:43,480
be back soon Britney Sykes has been playing well so you gotta give her props you need

72
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:51,160
some more out of Ariel Atkins and Natasha Cloud I know Natasha Cloud she's had injury

73
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,360
as a recent so but you're definitely gonna need more from them the benches men strong

74
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:07,280
guys with Tiana Hawkins there Shatori Walker Kimbrough Maisha Heinz Allen Lee Ming and also

75
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Christie Toliver so they have a very good bench and then you add to that Queen Egbo

76
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:18,120
who you got in the trades so Washington you know they have a strong bench you just need

77
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:26,480
your star players healthy I think at full strength they're dangerous guys so Eric Tibalt he's

78
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,600
got the ship moving in the right direction so he just needs his healthy players back

79
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:38,680
that's the story with the Mystics then we move on to the other 11 and 18 the Atlanta Dream

80
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:45,440
and they're one of the hottest teams in the W outside of your big three of course of Las

81
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:52,480
Vegas New York and Connecticut and of course they have the All-Star trio now of Ryan Howard

82
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:58,440
Alyssa Gray and Cheyenne Parker but you're gonna need help from others guys you're gonna

83
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:06,480
need some help from people like Nea coffee AD Durr Daniel Robinson so you're gonna need

84
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,960
some more contribution from them if you definitely want to go to that next level but I tell you

85
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:19,400
what coach Tanisha right she's been doing the job there and she's gonna have to consider

86
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:25,600
probably installing Haley Jones maybe into that starting lineup to be the starting point

87
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:32,360
guard there you've seen the maturation in her thus far so I think she's able to do it

88
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:38,560
guys Tanisha right if you want to roll the dice and go with Haley Jones as your starting

89
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:45,920
point guard probably now's the time now's a good time as any the Atlanta dream I tell

90
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:52,400
you what guys they're a dangerous team very dangerous so if I was among those top two

91
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:58,840
or three teams I'd be worried about facing them that's for sure then we move on to the

92
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:05,960
Dallas wings at 11 and 9 so they're at the halfway point this is another team I think

93
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:13,960
could be dangerous and they have their trio of a Rika a goomba wale Satos a Bali as well

94
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:20,160
as Natasha Howard who's nobody slouch that's for sure and I tell you what guys that last

95
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:27,400
game they had against the Minnesota Lynx where a Rique had the 18 points and 11 assists I

96
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:35,920
tell you what guys if a Rique can have games where she's dishing out 789 assists per game

97
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:41,800
Dallas is going to be a problem guys they're going to be a problem I give credit to a Latricia

98
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:47,920
Crammel guys early on the team is trying to figure itself out but I think they're about

99
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,480
to hit their stride right now especially going into that second half and then don't forget

100
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:59,480
on top of your big three there you got tiara mcowen who she had the injury early on but

101
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:05,320
she's back now so you're going to get solid center play from her and then crystal danger

102
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:11,160
field she's always a threat there so the Dallas wings I think they could be a problem guys

103
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:18,720
I think they could be a problem going forward so you have that team at number six your seven

104
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:25,960
team right now is the Minnesota Lynx speaking of at 9 and 11 this is another team that's

105
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,440
starting to gel they remember they started out the gate pretty slow but they're starting

106
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:39,480
to slowly gel guys but everything begins it ends with the fisha collier and I tell you

107
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:45,880
what she's having a fantastic season guys I tell you what also look out for diamond

108
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:53,120
Miller in the second half she missed about eight games she had her injury ankle by the

109
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:59,800
way but in the second half of the season now she was one I thought would be a rookie of

110
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:05,880
the year candidate with her game so I see her in the second half doing some pretty good

111
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:12,040
things here so they're definitely going to need that course you have Kayla McBride there

112
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:18,920
along with Tiffany Mitchell Jessica Shepherd they're coming along could there be more touches

113
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:26,240
for dorka you house there's young center there who's done a serviceable job in the middle

114
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:32,040
but maybe you need to get her more touches to improve this team so Cheryl Reeves she's

115
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:38,400
going to have to figure it out but the Minnesota Lynx if they could get things rolling they

116
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:44,360
could be a problem team as well so we'll see what happens with them then in your eight spot

117
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:50,560
you have the Chicago sky somehow they keeping this thing afloat despite the injuries and

118
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:56,640
they've had their share of injuries and also a coaching departure we know about James

119
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:05,280
Wade heading to the NBA to be assistant coach with the Toronto Raptors Emory at times severe

120
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:12,680
that's your coach now so it seems like starting to get the healthy pieces back of course Kalea

121
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:19,240
Copper and Marina Maybury are carrying the load of course Courtney Williams she's getting

122
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:26,480
hot as of late guys she had that recent triple double and she had an outstanding game even

123
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:33,400
after that but you're going to need help besides Dana Evans Dana Evans has been good off the

124
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:40,960
bench but you need more from your bench the loss of Rebecca Gardner really hurts though

125
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:46,600
they lost her with a foot injury early in the season and the bench hasn't been the same

126
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:52,680
really since so you're gonna need more bench production but somehow they're keeping it afloat

127
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:59,760
but there's some teams behind them that could creep up in the second half at number nine

128
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:07,040
Los Angeles Sparks in the Sparks a coach by Kirk Miller and I tell you what guys no team

129
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:12,520
has had it worse when it comes to injuries than the Los Angeles Sparks I mean you had

130
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:20,440
players in and out your roster was short at times only two of their players appeared in

131
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:28,080
every single game and that's Deerika Hamby as well as Zaya Cook the rookie but they are

132
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:35,240
getting Lacia Claren them back there'll be a help Jordan Canada she continues to improve

133
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:43,680
so she's had a pretty good year and of course team is always led by Neca a woman K and then

134
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:52,240
having as a Ray Stevens having her back it's been a help as well as Jasmine Thomas Shania

135
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:57,680
woman K neck of sister she remains out with the foot injury we'll see what happens on

136
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:05,840
the other side of the all-star break as far as her injury goes but they're a team if they

137
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:11,960
could get healthy they could get right they can kind of make a surge in the standings

138
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,840
but again that all depends on the players in their injuries you know so we'll see what

139
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:25,960
happens there and then at number 10 the Indiana fever and despite their record they're a team

140
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:34,400
on the way up guys of course led by their rookie sensation Aliyah Boston and their all-stars

141
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:41,840
well Kelsey Mitchell but they've been dealt a recent blow of injuries Melissa Smith she's

142
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:47,280
going to be out with the stress factor in her foot for two weeks and then Lexi Hall

143
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,600
is day-to-day with the broken nose that she suffered in the last game and is it time to

144
00:15:52,600 --> 00:16:00,480
unleash players like Grace burger and Victoria sexton I mean you have to weigh that guys

145
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:06,920
because do you think you have enough to make a jump in the standings here to maybe catch

146
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:14,040
a Chicago I don't know about that so you may want to at least give Grace burger a longer

147
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:19,520
look and carry a Saxon as well you know these are young players you want to see what they

148
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:27,000
have so and then remember to they dealt Queen Eggbow and they brought in Amanda Zowie be

149
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:34,000
who you're going to need especially now well the list of Smith on the sidelines so so we'll

150
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:40,000
see what happens with Indiana fever but they're playing tough guys they're not an easy game

151
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:47,560
anymore they're playing tough course boston's having a phenomenal season so this is the team

152
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:56,960
you can't sleep more at 11 the phoenix mercury and we know despite bg being back this season

153
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:04,760
seems to be a lost one and you got to start asking the question guys is it time for Diane

154
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,960
to Rossi to retire that's legitimate question because you're going to have to build this

155
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:17,760
team around someone other than Brittany Griner of course and do you want to still build around

156
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:23,840
a 40 year old player I don't know if you want to do that and then of course we know about

157
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:30,400
the Vanessa Nygaard debacle she's out in terms of being the head coach Nikki blue is in there

158
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:35,360
now I'm not sure about the trade deadline but maybe you want to shake things up with

159
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:41,760
a trade here or there who knows you know maybe you want to move Sophie Cunningham maybe a

160
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:48,520
Mariah Jefferson maybe Shay Patty I don't know but you're gonna have to shake some things

161
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:53,360
up that's for sure I don't know if you're trying to jump up in the standings as well

162
00:17:53,360 --> 00:18:00,360
you're at 415 it's gonna be kind of a difficult climb but maybe you wave the white towels

163
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:06,200
we'll see but that's Phoenix and then your last place team the Seattle storm actually

164
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,440
I think when all the sitting done they won't be the last place team this is a team now

165
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:17,040
that could make a move in the standings even with their record I think the return of Gabby

166
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:22,120
Williams is really going to help this team of course you have Jewel Lloyd playing as

167
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:28,800
well as she's playing will she be able to break the single season scoring record look

168
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:34,160
like she's well on our way guys if health holds up and everything else and she's taking

169
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,760
a beating throughout this season in fact the last game I saw with her you know she went

170
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:44,600
down a few times I was like is she getting up she got up each and every time so Jewel

171
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:52,760
Lloyd other teams know her potential and how she can explode in the game so I think also

172
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:59,040
to look out for Jordan Horstin Jordan Horstin I think that's another rookie that's ready

173
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:05,360
to make a move she had a very good game her last game so I think momentum is on her side

174
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:09,840
and again we're having Gabby Williams back who can direct the offense I think that's

175
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:15,240
going to be a help to a Jordan Horstin I don't think Seattle ends up being the last place

176
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:21,640
team I think they can make a move in the standings I would be watching them very closely to see

177
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:27,760
if they can jump up and Noel Quinn she's she know what she's doing behind the bench there

178
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:33,360
so I wouldn't be surprised if they jump up so we'll see what happens with them so guys

179
00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:41,600
that is your breakdown of the teams going forward in the second half with that now I

180
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:49,720
want to give out my midseason hardware midseason awards how it is now and how I think it may

181
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:56,760
shake out when everything is sitting done right now the sixth woman of the year for

182
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:04,520
me it'll be D. Janay Carrington of the Connecticut Sun again I just seen her game improved so

183
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:10,960
much and she's been the spark that they need off the bench for Connecticut and I think

184
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:16,560
her being at the All-Star festivities there I think that can only boost her confidence

185
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:25,000
so I think she's one who could get the sixth woman of the year outside chance Dana Evans

186
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Dana Evans I talked about Chicago Sky she's having a pretty good year coming off the bench

187
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:36,720
for them but I think it's Carrington's award to lose right now so defensive player of the

188
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:43,160
year had to really kind of think about this one but I think when all is sitting done as

189
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:49,720
he Macbughor I think she ends up being the one getting the defensive player of the year

190
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:58,040
she's having a fantastic season for the storm and she's tied for the lead in blocks she

191
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:05,080
is someone who and also she's averaging over a steal the game as well so she's really been

192
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:12,760
a terror inside for the storm so as he Macbughor I think could end up being the defensive player

193
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:21,040
of the year most improved player I think this is a runaway Sato Sabali for the Dallas wings

194
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:28,520
I think it's her award to lose all the other person I give a outside chance to is Alyssa

195
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:35,560
Gray for the Atlanta dream her coming from the Dallas wings last season and into this

196
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:41,640
one she's really made an improvement in her game so much so she was picked as All-Star

197
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:49,680
so Alyssa Gray but I think Sato Sabali I think she's the one who end up being most improved

198
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:56,320
player then that leads us to our rookie of the year is there any other person other than

199
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:03,640
Aliyah Boston the year that she's having the efficiency it's the efficiency for me guys

200
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:10,800
and as I watch her the footwork that she has inside I mean that's the footwork of a veteran

201
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:17,360
the way she's working in the blocks man wow and to think this is only her rookie season

202
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:22,520
she'll be doing this for the next 10 years or so health permitting of course but Aliyah

203
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:28,800
Boston I think is your runaway rookie of the year coach of the year I had to really think

204
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:35,440
about this one but I think when the dust settles Stephanie White will end up getting the award

205
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:43,200
of the Connecticut Sun the way there was talk that this team losing their head coach as

206
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:51,560
well as player who was a MVP recipient at one time as well as your starting point guard

207
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:57,160
you lost her as well so many thought this team would be in transition that's not the

208
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:04,360
case there amongst your top teams so Stephanie White has done an amazing job over there so

209
00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:11,040
I think she ends up getting coach of the year my dark horse Tanisha Wright if everything

210
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:16,720
breaks the way I think it'll break I think Tanisha Wright will have this team at the end

211
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:24,000
as a team that nobody wants to face guys so Tanisha Wright doing the right things over

212
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:31,440
there in Atlanta for the Atlanta dream but again Stephanie White I think ends up winning

213
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:39,000
and then your MVP I believe it's going to be Breonna Stewart for the New York Liberty

214
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:45,600
Breonna Stewart has having a wonderful season for the Liberty she's been the leader over

215
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:51,960
there and the way that team follows her lead Liberty fans been waiting for this kind of

216
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:58,560
season for a while so for Breonna to come over and do what she's doing is you couldn't

217
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:04,520
ask for more than that so I think Breonna Stewart ends up winning my outside shot is

218
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:11,680
Alyssa Thomas with what's going on over there in Connecticut course she is the engine there

219
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:19,120
for that team so Alyssa Thomas I think she'll get consideration by thinking the end Breonna

220
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:25,320
Stewart gets the award alright guys so that's going to do it for this episode I'll end up

221
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:31,800
talking about Summer League a little bit they do have the championship game going on in Summer

222
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:39,960
League between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Houston Rockets so I'm sure I'll probably

223
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:46,280
talk about that I'll talk about Victor Wimbayama he only played the two games in Summer League

224
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:52,840
so we'll talk about that and it's there with some player movement as well no Dame news

225
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:59,520
no heart news so the next time you hear from me I'll probably be talking about Summer League

226
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,880
and some of the player movements so you know it's summertime I'm going to try and take

227
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:11,640
a breather here so I know I've been saying that but I'm really going to do it so anyhow
