(I did a minimum of avg. 1 FTAPG)

🇫🇷Janelle Salaün is at: 50.0% / 40.9 / 100% but only attempts .08 FTPG

A number of players are at a 50-40 split, but falling at the FT line.

3) For both I wonder if their relations coming from NY and GS would create a bias to the rest of the league? Obviously they are two professionals and would/should be able to separate working for the teams if one were to be com. I just wonder what the rest of the league thinks

[Sarah Disbro @disbro_17]

WNBA Commissioner thoughts based solely on ESPN’s article (will do some more research later on)

First off why would a man be there

#WNBA

[Sarah Disbro @disbro_17]

Jess Smith & Keia Clark:
1) would Smith want to leave the Valks? Done an exceptional job but they haven’t won a title yet, is there more work to do?

2) with Clark she’s also done so much for  Liberty and won championships, so she might be ready to move on
