Back to basketball...Olivia Miles had a monster game last night. She broke the single game rookie 3pt record with 8 against GS. Her line was 28 pts, 4 reb, 7 ast, 3 blocks with only 1 turnover. Threes were the only real issue in her game this year. She had only two before last night. I would also say he defense is way better than advertised coming out of college.

Lost in the Miles hype is this insane stat:

In just 10 games, Nia Coffey broke the season record for blocked 3 point shots.

Bridget Carlton was a greatly underappreciated defensive / glue player for the Lynx. Coffey is even better in that role IMO.

Maybe Sweens or DL know.....was she that great on defense before coming here?

Yes, but more of a wing than a big like Coffey.

Carlton is a tremendous POA defender that can handle being switched onto smaller bigs.

Yep. Both are versatile POA and team defenders, but Coffey can better handle the physicality on the inside.

Seems her offense was unlocked also.

I didn't realize they had even picked teams yet. Congratulations to both.

Other good news is that Phee and Juhasz both resumed full practice yesterday. They had been participating in 2 on 2 and 3 on 3, but yesterday was full practice with no restrictions.

Olivia Miles is injured. Probably not gonna be available to play in the ASG.

You think a calf strain is going to keep her out for 3 weeks?

I didn't know it was 3 weeks away. But it's possible. Calf (soft issue) injuries can be lingery. Just ask Josh Donaldson.
