I totally forgot that Boston is still on the team.

Natasha (6'2 forward) turned 33 on Sep 2nd.

Last season, in 27 games played, she averaged 17.6 pts, 6.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.3 steals and .8 blocks.

She shot 46% from the field
, 20% from three, and 72% from the FT line.

She was the #5 overall pick by the Fever in the 2014 WNBA Draft.

From yesterday:

This is funny. The ESPN "experts" predict Caitlin will be 2nd in fantasy points, but she will shoot a lower percentage on free throws, average fewer assists per game, and have only a .05 improvement in her assist to turnover ratio, from 1.51 to 1.56. I'm not saying she will have as many fantasy points as A'ja, but her assists are going to be cranked up this year with having an actual preseason, a season under her belt adjusting to the W game game and her teammates to adjust to her, a proper preseason, and better teammates. I suspect her TOs will go down as a result, but given her style of play the TOs will always be there to a degree.

I’ve said before, people need to get over the turnovers thing. She averaged 5.6 per game and 8.4 assists per game last year. I think she’s going to average north of 10.0 assists per game this year. Possibly well north. Elite women’s players have A:TO ratios around 2. So she probably finishes in the same neighborhood as she did last year, somewhere around 5.0 per game, while improving her assist production by 25-40% or even more. If she could average say 11.6 apg and 6.0 tpg (which would actually be an increase in TOs over last year), I’d take that (along with her 20+ ppg) in a heartbeat. You’d be crazy not to. Some of the “brain fart” ones I expect will be significantly fewer. But she’s also going to push even more this year. As she should. There are just going to be some that don’t hit the mark.
 
Howard is all business. She's nearing the end of her career, and could have probably gone to any contender, but wanted to win and I think she sees the huge opportunity here. She's going to have a huge positive influence on this team.

I think turnovers will improve just because early last year her teammates just weren't used to and ready for some of those passes, but CC herself has said she has to live with some of the turnovers because of how she plays. She knows she's going to push the envelope, and with that aggressiveness are going to come some turnovers.

This team is going to be hilarious.

The days of people taking cheap shots at CC are over. Can't wait to see the first person who tries
Mrs. spider (no pic) follows about every Fever podcast there is and she told me that fans are posting that it’s almost not even fair at this point.
 
Oh, Cid.

Are you and @spiderland stalkers in real life, too?

And you two clowns be sure to criticize all of the other posters who post tweets, too, you freakin' hypocritical dumb asses.
And now the name calling begins. Trust me if someone else goes on a 13 copy/paste to 1 typed word on one page of posts I will probably mention it.
Not sure you used hypocritical correctly but it’s nice to see you do something other than copy/paste.
To give you credit you did type several open ended questions in between your copy/paste frenzy on Bo committing to Iowa. Not quite like having substance or an opinion backed with information but for you it is a step in the right direction. Keep up the baby steps.
FYI name calling usually occurs when you run out of facts to support your position. Stick with the bold ‘rent free’ it isn’t as embarrassing for you.

Oh, stalker Cid.

Now that everyone clearly knows that you are a psycho, nobody's gonna read your garbage posts. You realize that, right?

Don't answer; we know the answer.

A new name and a rhetorical question.
Finally expanding your skill set. Solid progress on your part. I have now seen you have consecutive posts without using copy/paste. Original thought is getting closer. Keep working at it. Or just dial up the name calling. It’s what those who lack intellect resort to.

Wow! This year’s gonna be more entertaining than last year to me. Can’t wait to get it going.
Yeah, this team should be much better and Caitlin should be much better to start the season. My bold prediction is that assuming Caitlin stays healthy, she will win POY and have the most fantasy points of any W player.

They're going to run the court so well this year.. I don't think they're going to lose many games this season
