121Merrimac Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 While channel surfing, I stop on the Seattle Storm at Atlanta Dream game. To my surprise, I hear Amy Audibert calling the action. While searching which team she works for (Atlanta), I learn that Presley Hudson was released by Seattle. She was with the Storm from April 18th until May 22nd.

rma Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 When a player like Megan Gustafson gets cut and Brianna Turner plays minimal minutes you know there's an issue with more talent than roster spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has struggled to get any meaningful looks in pro basketball, so this at least gets her on the court and maybe will lead to something better. I am interested to see what happens with Fair after this season. She is a very good college player, but at her size and being a volume shooter may work against her at the next level. She does pass well, so that could be a benefit for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullsbball Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 And another video. Sorry, I don't know French but it appears neither does Cierra. I put Fair and Dillard in the game style. Both seemed to be ball hogs. Cierra probably shoots a little better. Cierra was looking for big things in the Pros but didn't get much action/attention.

Becky Hammon also obtained Russian citizenship and played for Russia in the 2008 Olympics. I do not know what the current rules are for representing a country. In the past people were eligible to play for the country they were born in or the country their parents or grandparents were born in. She may have been eligible to play for Senegal based upon her ancestors. At one time once you played for one country you could never play for a different country. That was changed early on by Martina Navratilova who had played for Czechoslovakia and then the United States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
