The Carolyn Jenkins era begins today for the Lynx as they play the Sting twice this week, starting tonight in Charlotte. One player for the Sting many Minnesota fans are interested in is last year's number one pick, Janel McCarville.

The former Gopher has not made the same impact that most other players that entered the league last season and fans continue to debate her potential and ability. But McCarville has learned not to pay much attention to the criticism. "I really don't worry about it," she said. "A lot of things limited me last year with injuries and not being in the swing of things. People can talk all they want. Everybody's a coach, everybody's a critic."
