What happened to Coates?!

 

[vacock#]

I haven’t see any reasons but it looks to me that she had very little offense. Live long and prosper.

The league is tough for post players - especially young ones if your not on the right team. She needs to go overseas and keep trying to make the final 144. It will happen one day

Dang I thought she was safe, yeah back to basket post players are becoming more and more rare in the league, especially at her height. 5 - 10 years ago she could be a solid vetersn,but now it's uncommon for 6'6 post player with the ability to shoot from range and have good ball handling skills.

She does play overseas and she makes more than she made in the WNBA.. The thing about being in the WNBA gives you better options overseas in contract negotiations. In 2018, 2019, she made $225,000 if she becomes a star in the WNBA she would demand 3 times that much over seas. A’ja Wilson is making $700,000 a year over seas and in a couple years, she’ll join the million dollar club with Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, and Cynthia Cooper, there’s a few more players getting 1-2 million but I won’t mention them. Lay Lay will be fine, somebody will pick her up in the WNBA

I know she goes overseas.

Edit original post: Keep going overseas - then

I knew she was going to get cut. Gustafson had to pretty much change her game to survive. KD's cut surprised me a little, even though her game had dipped.

In this competitive day of age, I blame the coaches for limiting the players style like that. Post players have to be versatile just like the guards & wings

Te'a Cooper waived by Phoenix

Te'a Cooper waived by Phoenix

That didn't take long.

I was really shocked to see some people predicting Te'a Cooper would go in the 1st round. She's been in college 10 years and hasn't developed a jump shot. At her size, she must be able to hit from the outside.

That's why Harrigan went early, her pure jump shot.

She got on the wrong team. Sandy Brondello & Taurasi kill rookies. That's one of the reasons I was hoping that Harrigan did not go there (she was projected pre draft to Phoenix)

Tiff Mitchell made the final roster
