As usual, Jayda Evans of the Seattle Times has had thorough coverage of training camp, including an in-depth profile of Storm newcomer Tina Thompson:

Thompson considered returning, but another move felt best.

“Personally, in L.A., I underachieved and we underachieved,” the unrestricted free agent said after the fourth day of Storm training camp on Thursday. “That weighed heavily on my mind as a competitor. You want to win. And it’s OK if you don’t have the best team; you still want to finish the best you can. That’s always how I’ve been. But I wanted to be in an environment where every time I woke up, I wanted to come to work. And that the players I’m playing with thought the same way.

Over the last week, Evans also profiled three players battling for roster spots: Lindsay Taylor, Ashley Corral and Alysha Clark.
