Comments on: Notebook: Storm Wants to Keep O'Neill Around http://tracker.stormbasketball.com/?p=286 The Official Blog of stormbasketball.com Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:56:28 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Online ZenDoc http://tracker.stormbasketball.com/?p=286&cpage=1#comment-414 Online ZenDoc Fri, 16 May 2008 22:56:00 +0000 http://seattlestorm.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/notebook-storm-wants-to-keep-oneill-around/#comment-414 Jayda Evans, who writes the Storm blog for the Seattle Times, made an interesting comment from her talk with Brian Agler today. She said that the coaches had already decided that Kim Beck would be the main point guard back-up for Sue with Tanisha also available, so Kim was at no risk of being cut today. They also like Doneeka Lewis a lot and would have liked to have kept her, but they had not had time to fully evaluate Lina (her nickname that she goes by) Pascalau yet, but they did like what they saw. <br/><br/>They also liked Kelly Santos a lot, so she wasn't really at risk of being cut, either. Jayda said that it came down to keeping the exta big, Lina, or keeping another point guard, Doneeka, and they went with the big Romanian center. If she's not as good as they think and they decide to cut her down the line, they can always sign Kristen O'Neill. Or if one of their 5 guards gets injured, they can always sign Kristen. She provides good insurance for them. Jayda Evans, who writes the Storm blog for the Seattle Times, made an interesting comment from her talk with Brian Agler today.

For a player that loves basketball(and can really play) and getting paid is a bonus rather that an player who loves the money and plays for same. yes – K Mc Neill definately deserves roster spot..

Like so for the 2008 Storm roster:

Jayda broke the news before it as announced here. As soon as I saw what Jayda said I came back here and posted it, thinking that I would be the first to posr it here because anonymous' post was not showing up at that time. Then when mine showed up, I saw that hers was there too, just before mine. At least we agreed on the news.

They have good depth at all positions now. I think it was the right move to keep Kim Beck over Doneeka Lewis, but it could have gone either way.

Kim Beck has too much potential to cut her, and I already discussed the bigs. I don't think they had any other choice. Too bad for 'Neeka, but someone had to go.
