Guess they didn't get the "cancer" memo...
3 months ago, I would have been shocked if someone said Mercedes Russell wouldn't be a first round pick. In hindsight, I don't think she did enough to earn it, so I shouldn't be surprised. At this point, I'm not convinced she's good enough to make a team, at least this year.
She's not. The W is highly competitive and Mercedes is too slow and she just stands around. The center position needs to be strong. If she doesn't get picked, maybe a stint overseas will help her develop better.
She wasn't a "cancer", just a highly talented player trying to exist in the frustrating Warlick coaching system. You could see it on Diamond's face every game, total exhausting frustration and you see it in the other players as well. Clearly after this season, Diamond wasn't the problem! She'll be great in the W and I know she'll feel great not having to carry an entire team and get blamed for every loss.

Guess you didn't read Laimbeer & Pokey's evaluations and how they were concerned. A big reason DD went to overseas was to boost her college rep.
Chicago mgmt flew 6000 miles to meet with her personally.
Happy for DD. She will do well in the pro environment.
