@PeterRpo @bc_oostende @nieuwsbladsport RIP Freddy, een mythisch figuur tijdens en na de wedstrijden. Leefde voor de basketbal sport.

I appreciate how the Mercury can space Kyara Linskens, & the domino effect it *can* have on defensive help decisions — especially when Alyssa Thomas gets downhill.

Smith isn't gonna be as apt to stay home, as she is to react to the AT drive.

Help is early, AT sprays, Linskens hits.

Compromises defensive decisions in a different way.

[Stephen PridGeon-Garner 🏁 @StephenPG3]

One thing that's stood out in the Mercury 2-game slate @ New York was Alyssa Thomas' passing to the bigs.

Natasha Mack & Kyara Linskens have done well with timely cuts, & manipulating the dunker spot while reading both primary action & Alyssa Thomas' drives.

Important development.

Kyara Linskens has also seen cutting as a major opportunity within the Mercury offensive flow, in the early stages.

She noted how those opportunities present themselves, this morning.

[PHNX Mercury @PHNX_Mercury]

Take a listen in on where Kyara Linskens is looking forward to improving most over the next handful of games.

Hint: defense is at the TOP of everybody's minds for the Mercury right now.

[Stephen PridGeon-Garner 🏁 @StephenPG3]

Kyara Linskens noted the uptick in speed of the game being different here, in the W, & how practice has helped with adjusting.

[Stephen PridGeon-Garner 🏁 @StephenPG3]

Early pin for Bonner is missed but look at Kyara Linskens crash.

2nd chance offense for the Merc, & notice the tempo into play for Noémie Brochant & Alyssa Thomas.

The playmaking read for Brochant, off the spacing provided by Linskens... keep these names in mind.

[Stephen PridGeon-Garner 🏁 @StephenPG3]

Kyara Linskens impact everywhere.

Presence in the paint defensively, can't double off her a pass away from Bonner's drive.

She's 2-for-2 from deep in similar contexts, spacing & shooting off the help.

[Stephen PridGeon-Garner 🏁 @StephenPG3]

Tandem o-board efforts from Kyara Linskens (whose minutes have been really good so far — 2 o-boards) & DeWanna Bonner.

Mercury keeping pressure in teams, in waves & different types.

[Shane Young @YoungNBA]

What a pass by Noémie Brochant coming off this pick & roll with AT

Notices help in the paint, hits Kyara Linskins in the weakside corner

[Phoenix Mercury @PhoenixMercury]

collapse the defense and make the right play 😮‍💨

[Stephen PridGeon-Garner 🏁 @StephenPG3]

What a welcoming sequence from Kyara Linskens.

Bucket vs a small, poke away in the post vs A'ja, o-board on hustle & a screen that frees a shooter.

Will be fun to see her get even more familiar with her teammates & the W — but you can *see it* early.

Asked Mercury’s Kyara Linskens on her native Belgium’s basketball culture, and Belgian players such as OKC Thunder’s Ajay Mitchell and Blazers’ Toumani Camara:

“People see us having success even in the NBA, so we’re all trying to set examples for the (Belgian) youth …”
