Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, May 18, 2006

Marginal players, second-round picks and the like will learn their fate tomorrow, when each team must have its roster set.

Dealt from the Shock, then cut from the Lynx, Ambrosia Anderson hopes to stay with the Sun: "I told my best friend when I got cut, 'I've never been cut in my whole life....You've just got to look at it from the perspective -- it's a game, it's a job."

Even some UConn fans expressed surprise when the Sparks drafted Willnett Crockett, but she says she was surprised when L.A. waived her.

Also here this week, but gone today: Baylor's Abi Wabara (from L.A.), BC's Brooke Queenan (from the Sun, after just three days), and two centers: Lindsay Taylor (from Seattle) and Zane Teilane (from Detroit). Both could get tryouts elsewhere next year... if they're healthy.

The Monarchs still have cuts to make. Among the candidates: Iowa State's trey-shooter Anne O'Neill, drafted, then cut while injured, last year.
