Which WNBA offseason moves are making the biggest impact -- and who still has work to do?
Kelsey Plum, Natasha Cloud and a Phoenix duo have made an immediate impact on their new WNBA teams in 2025.

WRIST WAS GREAT IN UNRIVALLED,
GOT HURT AND HAS BEEN
WEARING THAT WRAP/BRACE EVER SINCE.
SHE HURT IT IN THE MERCURY GAME
THE OTHER NIGHT ALSO.
I UNDERSTAND HER NOT WANTING
TO SIT CONSIDERING SHE REINJURED IT
IN A NON WNBA FORMAT.
CARDO CANT PLAY FROM
THE OUTSIDE SO EVERYTHING INSIDE
IS GOING TO HER IN THIS NEW SYSTEM.
ANGEL SPENT THE OFF-SEASON/UNRIVALLED
GETTING READY FOR THIS NEW ROLE
BUT THE WRIST HAS SET HER BACK.
SHOOTING 62% FROM THE FOUL LINE
AND NOT EVEN LOOKING
TO TAKE THE MID RANGE J.
SKY GET A WEEK OFF AFTER SATURDAYS GAME
SO THAT SHOULD HELP.
Why would you want the best offensive rebounder in the game operating primarily from the perimeter? That just doesn't make sense.
It makes sense to switch things up and give teams diff looks...but Angel should be operating at all 3 levels to take advantage of her passing, offensive rebounding prowess, ability to take bigs off the drive, and soft hands in the PnR
Angel cannot thrive in this system with this group of players around her...
For context, Sloot has 52 FGA in 5 games...Angel has 48
Atkins has 49, Nurse has 40, Karmilla has 53
Do you think this is the ideal shot distribution considering most of Angel's attempts are coming on clean up?
If T-Spoon was coaching the shot distribution would look like:
Angel - 60
Karmilla - 50
Atkins - 48
Nurse - 40
Sloot - 35

Angel and her 31% shooting leading the team in shots?
Sloot shoots 44% btw
Tell Angel to just rebound and pass

Most of Angel's shot attempts are her shooting around 2-3 ppl
She gets everybody clean looks and no one gets her a clean look
Every PnR the guards are jacking
No one can get her the ball in the post where she has position and can make a quick move to score...they don't get her the rock on switches
I don't box score watch, I watch the games
Why should the oldest player on the team who isn't even a scorer have that many shot attempts when she was brought in to be a facilitator
ANGEL DEFINITELY NEEDS
THE BALL MORE...
BUT IT CLEAR SHES GONNA
HAVE TO CREATE FOR HERSELF
AND OTHERS IN THIS OFFENSE.
SHES BRINGING THE BALL
UP MORE AND MORE EACH GAME....
ITS GONNA BE ON HER
TO CALL HER OWN NUMBER
BECAUSE SHES NOT GETTING
THE BALL IN THE POST.
THATS WHY I SAID
SHE GOTTA START LETTING
THAT bytch FLY REGARDLESS
OF THE WRIST.
SHE HAS A GREEN LIGHT.
ITS JUST NOT IN THE AREA
SHE USUALLY WORKS.
BECOMING A WILLING SHOOTER
WILL OPEN UP THE DRIVING
LANES FOR HER.
@Controversy THIS IS HOW
SHE STARTED THE SEASON....

LAST NIGHT...
THESE WERE HER ONLY
TRIPS TO THE FOUL LINE.
THIS IS HOW SHE IS EXPECTED TO
GET HER OFFENSE IN THIS NEW SYSTEM
SO SHE HAS TO CALL
HER OWN NUMBER WHEN
SHE HAS THE BALL.
THE POST UP DAYS ARE OVER
AND SHE WILL EVENTUALLY
BECOME A MORE DYNAMIC PLAYER
WITH MORE IN GAME REPS.

If you watch thru Prime, you should be able to pick what you wanna watch instead of watching what they give you.

She gotta stop playing like a 5 year old. This the 4th person i saw volleyball spike her shyt without leaving their feet
SHE CLEARLY LEFT
HER FEET
BUT ANGEL SIMPLY
HAS TO CREATE CONTACT
WITH NYLYSSAS CHEST
INSTEAD OF GOING AWAY
FROM THE CONTACT
AFTER GETTING INSIDE POSITION
THEN ITS AN EASY LAYUP.
THIS IS SOMETHING SHE'LL
LEARN WITH MORE IN GAME REPS.

Running a 1 in 4 out offense with Angel & Karmilla is not ideal as the base offense
It can work, depending on the opponent...but Angel should be able to operate from both the perimeter and the post/baseline
