—13 signed, can only keep 11 —not playing overseas: Loyd, Ogwumike, Diggins-Smith, Horston (letting her shoulder heal), KDavis (doing some R&R after coming back from torn Achilles suffered in January '23) —doing very well overseas: Magbegor, KWilliams, Melbourne, and yes even Russell (perhaps why she's still on our roster – would be huge if she could get back to being serviceable) —coming along nicely overseas: DFM averaging a double-double, Whitcomb continues to produce at fairly high levels even as her 3pt% has taken a nosedive —doing good but not great: Holmes, Coates
—how will KDavis fare? if she can play a little PF as well as SF & SG, that would go a long way towards her chances – she looks to be the wild card in camp competition —hope Melbourne & KWilliams aren't effectively competing for the same spot —i'd really like it if we were to bring in another PF to compete directly with Holmes —can't see Coates making it, even as she technically has a title to her name (all the more reason to cycle out of the league afaic); i think if it's down to her & DFM to one spot, Coates ain't takin' it —i think our #14 Pick will be either a SG, SF, or PF – we also have the #26 Pick lol – but regardless, any true rookie in camp really has no business making this year's roster imo
Whitcomb and Loyd can both run PG if needed. So Williams is a cut. They don't need six posts, so one of Dulcy, Holmes or Coates is out. Davis gets cut only if she bombs during training camp or their #14 draft pick outperforms her.

under that logic, both Williams and Melbourne should be cuts. plus, they didn't just sign Williams for nothing. she has experience playing on or off the ball, and my guess is no one actually wants Whitcomb & Loyd to have to play PG on a normal basis, including those two themselves.

we've carried just four posts before, so especially with an 11-player roster, it could be that we do so again. two of the aforementioned three could easily be out.
