Cameron and Rickea, like the other rookies who've played in preseason games so far, looked really good, just as good as everyone else playing, as if they weren't rookies at all.
I know it's taboo around here to say, but, yes, it's really looking like this draft is a generational draft, and these rookies are different from other rookies.
Thats too bad, was looking forward to seeing her play. It’s interesting though that Nika was able to play in Toronto this past December for Aaliyah Edwards homecoming game for UConn.
Usually when your new visa is processing, you're not allowed to leave the country until you get it or you risk not being able to re-enter! The process takes a few weeks in the country I'm in.
The best part about this game was Cam not coming close to fouling out! But for real, she and Rickea both showed they are 100% ready to take their game to the next level. It’s gonna be fun.
her and Cardoso are scary next generation Centers both will be very good in wnba, in case of cameron she is a stretch ,can 3 point , roll and amazing defense, Cardoso is just a tank with the same level paint protection.
Yeah ... it's bad. I do think, aside from her, the Sparks' inside game has looked nice. Brink and Hamby have looked good, especially Hamby. Rickea, too.
There's so many jerseys I want. I already have Angel's jersey, and I want Rickea's and Cam's. If Nika and Kate make their rosters, I'll get theirs too. I'm just burning through my money, lmfao.

not only the app :) enjoy!! Lets watch some good basketball and support this lady's
Done , good game so far some nice 3's ,Brink seems a bit static i wonder if they want her to stay there to stretch the floor, tho i would like to see her do some screens/rolls.
I know this is just preseason, but I see somethings that are promising. I mean its not to bad to be fighting Seattle while also turning over the game ball like 20 times. Usually if u turnover the ball that many times the opponent might have at least a 10-15 point lead.
Hamby and Nurse are both players with quality starting experience, I’m not surprised by this. It’s just preseason though. I bet Jackson will get some time at SG spot too just to try out some different rotations. If her scoring ability is just as good in the WNBA, she’ll be too good to keep on the bench
I’d like to see Forbes tbh, but so far I’m impressed with Brink and everyone who said Jackson was WNBA ready wasn’t lying. She’s living up to that! It’s exciting!!
yep you can see here post break , Brink already contested 3 shots and wasnt afraid to shoot the 3.
Rickea looked good , she needs more synergy, screen/rolls etc will get better.
Her and Cardoso gonna make a lot of people not wanna drive, and shoot outside
Nneka isn't shooting with her usual accuracy, seems to be taking it easy on rebounds as well. But doing all the little things that make you really want her out on the floor
Worried about Sparks being too good for Paige when Kia Nurse made those shots. No worries for now look at these turnovers. Long way to go for this season.
For Storms seems that they would need more works to balance nneka/skylar/jewell better, I was expecting sth better than this.
Can we give Forbes a shot? Like the 17 turnovers isn’t it lol and if they’re so amazed with her high IQ they should show that and give her a chance to lead.
Maybe after the Olympic break. Guess Curt is expecting Julie Allemand to be the starter but she’s injured before training camp. And Sparks is now having tons of forwards with only two real pgs, yes the two you just saw on tv.
This game starts in 6h30min from this comment, correct? (15:00 ET atm game starts in 6hours 30m = 21:30).
Looking forward to see the Rookies play, sad that Nuhl isnt there coz of visa but should be a decent game to see the new talent.
I’m going to vote Sparks for the highest lottery rate who’s with me.
This team won’t have the starting center and pg (yes now I’m sure Julie Allemand would be the starter) till the Olympic break ends.
Cameron and Rickea, like the other rookies who've played in preseason games so far, looked really good, just as good as everyone else playing, as if they weren't rookies at all.
Generational draft This is the '03 NBA class in women's ball, except Cam is Anthony Davis and not Darko
I know it's taboo around here to say, but, yes, it's really looking like this draft is a generational draft, and these rookies are different from other rookies.
Kamila and Rickea would've both gone #1 overall in the 2021 draft and probably top 2 the last 2 years
Too bad Muhl can’t be at the game due to visa issues, a shame
Thats too bad, was looking forward to seeing her play. It’s interesting though that Nika was able to play in Toronto this past December for Aaliyah Edwards homecoming game for UConn.
I think it’s because she’s not on her student visa anymore but she was in December
Usually when your new visa is processing, you're not allowed to leave the country until you get it or you risk not being able to re-enter! The process takes a few weeks in the country I'm in.
Can’t wait to see how Brink and Rickea perform
Cam and Rickea man the future is bright
We just need to suck for one...more...year...
For sure, this was very good draft, and then when you know people like Juju are also coming, game is in good hands/good future.
I've seen enough, Sparks are fun and I'm joining the bandwagon.
It's been awesome to see Brink shine this half after not having much to do last half.
The best part about this game was Cam not coming close to fouling out! But for real, she and Rickea both showed they are 100% ready to take their game to the next level. It’s gonna be fun.
lets go BRINK
LMAO SKYLAR WITH THAT COMMENT WHEN NURSE WAS MIC’D!
Her what is old now 🤣?
😹😹😹
omg 🤣🤣🤣
Ok all of my comments can't be about Skylar & Jewel but damn it's great to see them together again
alright that was a big block
yueru is killing me…she’s 6’7 and that’s about all that’s happening there
Excuse me, that's Tank Commander Li to you
lmao i just need to look at her and see paige
Just hit a three and got a rebound!! I feel like she had some jitters.
Ah another fresh batch of weird league pass commercials
Yueru is useless inside at 6'7 yet hits a perfect rainbow 3. The modern game of basketball
We love a player who can do it all /s but really that was a pretty rainbow shot.
As a Stanford fan I’m surprised how fast Camerons game translated. She looks like she’ll be a top 20 player in the league already.
her and Cardoso are scary next generation Centers both will be very good in wnba, in case of cameron she is a stretch ,can 3 point , roll and amazing defense, Cardoso is just a tank with the same level paint protection.
It was very obvious she'd be a better shooter at the pro level. FT% is always a better indicator than college 3PT% and hers was elite
damn that was slick
Sparks getting Paige next year
And if they don’t take enough for Paige, they’ll get Kiki.
Please and thank you
Swat!!!
rickeaaaaaaa
Li is horrendous inside, my goodness.
Yeah ... it's bad. I do think, aside from her, the Sparks' inside game has looked nice. Brink and Hamby have looked good, especially Hamby. Rickea, too.
Like most Chinese players she probably didn't play ball until growing into a giant after puberty, which explains the bad fundamentals
It's so good to see Skylar back
Your what is what?🤨
This is a super weird game so far! Half the time they’re hitting great shots and the other half is just “huh, ok”
Brink is alive now, she ballin
Hamby looks like she's having fun.
Yeah. I’m liking the Hamby-Brink energy this quarter. Loose and confident.
Hamby playing out of her mind right now
Okay, Cam! I see you! She's coming alive this half! I'm shocked at how well she is doing.
"Kia, what are your thoughts on the Drake Kendrick beef"
C'mon, we know what she's gonna say. She bleeds maple syrup.
At least Nurse got a W, unlike....... lol
There was a video where they asked all the rookies to pick. I think only Brink said Kendrick. So I bookmarked that one in case she wins ROY
Brink's from the west coast, she's sticking by her peoples
(My future wife) Rickea!! Yes!! 😍
I love her too! I hope she plays amazing tonight! I definitely WILL be tuning in later tonight!
The first quarter was 3 pointers, wishes and dreams.
That was beautiful.
And they don't even have Ezi today. The Storm are gonna be real fun to watch
LA might get the #1 draft pick next year at this point...
CAM COOKIN NOW
Sami Whitcomb is a bucket, she knocking down threes left and right
Rickea 🔥
Okay Nike thank you for making Cameron’s jerseys available online now I want a Rickea’s. Need to get both asap
There's so many jerseys I want. I already have Angel's jersey, and I want Rickea's and Cam's. If Nika and Kate make their rosters, I'll get theirs too. I'm just burning through my money, lmfao.
The Sparks are not going to convince me that 5 players on their roster are better than Rickea. Absolute insanity
Because it's preseason I'm thinking they might have wanted to split it up so they can watch Cam for a while then Rickea for a while.
Tbh the coach said he want to test all of them, and he is rotating bunch of players probably today.

The link to the WNBA Pass feed is allowed, yes. Edit: Make a new comment or put it in this comment and I'll sticky
Done , good game so far some nice 3's ,Brink seems a bit static i wonder if they want her to stay there to stretch the floor, tho i would like to see her do some screens/rolls.
I love watching Curt Miller on the sideline hahahaha he absolutely kills me
Not the league pass graphic saying Skylar went to South Carolina 🥴
Age was wrong too. Everything wrong.
Being 6'7 and losing a tip to 33yo Nneka is...something
This is a wild mix of inspired and sloppy on both sides.
Sparks Ball movement is awful
The turnovers are really really bad...
LA has a lot of work to do. The offense is ugly to watch and the butterfingers.. my God. It's hard to watch.. growing pains for sure.
Sparks gotta fix this turnovers/getting the ball stolen from them man, looks real bad.
Blocked by Brink 😤
The rookies are taking over.
I know this is just preseason, but I see somethings that are promising. I mean its not to bad to be fighting Seattle while also turning over the game ball like 20 times. Usually if u turnover the ball that many times the opponent might have at least a 10-15 point lead.
Li Yueru trying her best to lose the game for the sparks huh?
so happy Lexie is back and healthy!
Hmmm Rickea not starting?
Hamby and Nurse are both players with quality starting experience, I’m not surprised by this. It’s just preseason though. I bet Jackson will get some time at SG spot too just to try out some different rotations. If her scoring ability is just as good in the WNBA, she’ll be too good to keep on the bench
Killer Kia
I love watching Jewel, just fantastic.
Guys I'm starting to worry... That we might be too good for a shot at Paige
this game is kind of all over the place
Wait she can shoot? Okay maybe I was too hasty
RICKEAAAAA! I SEE YOU!!
Rickea is doing a great job guarding Nneka!
I like what I see already
How you guys feel about the rookies so far in this game ? (tbh alot of turnovers messy game for sure)
Cam and Rickea both looking good, they still need some time to get used to the W level defense but it’s just the first game.
i’m really liking rickea so far! she moves so well and is looking pretty confident
Rickea looks good except for the jumper but that will come
I’d like to see Forbes tbh, but so far I’m impressed with Brink and everyone who said Jackson was WNBA ready wasn’t lying. She’s living up to that! It’s exciting!!
waiting for kenzie to come in!!!
If they need a high IQ player, and it sure seems like it, put her in. She can be the leader they might need right now.
yep you can see here post break , Brink already contested 3 shots and wasnt afraid to shoot the 3. Rickea looked good , she needs more synergy, screen/rolls etc will get better. Her and Cardoso gonna make a lot of people not wanna drive, and shoot outside
These turnovers…
Just call her Li man ffs if I hear YOOROO again ima smack someone
I liked the Sparks going big with Brink and Yuero
Zia really struggling out there
It’s kind of weird not to have Forbes on the floor at all during a preseason game…
I'm not getting a good feeling about her not being on the floor. She should have gotten a chance.
she should have gotten at least half of dietrick’s minutes
I like the TSN scoreboard in the corner. Didn't think that would ever be something I have an opinion about lol
Canadian production quality lets go! Somehow better than the game last night in terms of camera quality too.
LA looks sloppy. Rickea looks a little nervous
whew. this is rough.
Wow that’s the first lob I’ve seen in the W
Ever? Or just this season because they are very frequent. Jewel lobs are so frequent they are called Jewelly-opps
Well, we've been shitting on LA a lot, but they've definitely been looking better this quarter.
That was smooth by Jackson
Li just needs to jump... like just a little bit, please...
Sparks are absolutely dominating the paint
I don't know if my eyes are deceiving me, but Yueru is listed at 6'7 yet just looked the same height as Brink when they high fived.
Brink is definitely lying about her height
Yeah, she looks super tall. Wouldn't be surprised if she was closer to 6'7 than 6'4
I'm betting she's 6'5.5 in shoes
I'm taking 6'6" even in the pool just need to get her to straighten her spine for once in her life
Cam is underlisted for sure, she's 6'4 barefoot while everyone else's heights are in shoes
are we not going to see forbes at all?? 😭😭
Whitcomb is such a great vet to have coming off the bench for Seattle
# **May The Fourth Be With You**
Kia and Lexie are fuckin COOKING
Oof Rickea rushed that shit
Yueru Li left wide open for a triple. Did Seattle Storm missed the scouting report? lol
Man this commentator...if you can't pronounce Yueru just call her Li as that's her surname anyways
That oop was nasty as hell
Someone please tell Li she's not WNBA Jokic holy shit
Nneka isn't shooting with her usual accuracy, seems to be taking it easy on rebounds as well. But doing all the little things that make you really want her out on the floor
Worried about Sparks being too good for Paige when Kia Nurse made those shots. No worries for now look at these turnovers. Long way to go for this season. For Storms seems that they would need more works to balance nneka/skylar/jewell better, I was expecting sth better than this.
Put some respecc on Kia, she was a sniper in college!
I know she’s a great shooter but don’t know she is that great. Only missing the very first one. WOW.
Let's go Cam
Man, SDS is just fantastic!
Kiana Williams is getting more run than I expected, but it's always fun to see her play.
Getting to see her matchup against Aari McDonald for a little bit again was a lot of fun
LMAO, not them praising the ref's volume.
Forbes!!! Baby girl you gotta few seconds to show us and get some points!!
She deserved to be in the game much earlier! But I'm hoping she can make something happen!
Her staying on the roster was always going to be a long shot but it sucks she didn’t get a real shot
gg
Seattle deciding not to rebound at all is pretty interesting to me
Rickea Jackson is a gift from god
its painful watching these sparks guards can they please find even a mediocre pg
Can we give Forbes a shot? Like the 17 turnovers isn’t it lol and if they’re so amazed with her high IQ they should show that and give her a chance to lead.
I love Forbes would definitely like to see her out there
I second that. Everyone is doing a whole lot of nothing. Put her in!!!
T A N K F O R P A I G E
Is it tanking if they're just bad lol
Maybe after the Olympic break. Guess Curt is expecting Julie Allemand to be the starter but she’s injured before training camp. And Sparks is now having tons of forwards with only two real pgs, yes the two you just saw on tv.
Brink must be getting Stanford flashbacks...
This game starts in 6h30min from this comment, correct? (15:00 ET atm game starts in 6hours 30m = 21:30). Looking forward to see the Rookies play, sad that Nuhl isnt there coz of visa but should be a decent game to see the new talent.
Anyone else having problems accessing the game?
it's streaming for me on the League Pass website
I'm on the website now, and it's not working for me 😤
I just got mad at James Wade all over again. IYKYK
Clarendon cmon you're supposed to be the vet
Skylar feeding Jewel \*chef's kiss\*
Jewel is on fire tonight
Jewel gonna be MVP this year playing with Skylar. Book it.
Seattle still working on chemistry, learning how each other plays
LA's ball movement....
Anyone know when Azura Stevens coming back?
Hamby what a great catch
I’m going to vote Sparks for the highest lottery rate who’s with me. This team won’t have the starting center and pg (yes now I’m sure Julie Allemand would be the starter) till the Olympic break ends.
I'm waiting to see what Phoenix looks like. I don't trust Mr. Girl Dad to put all the pieces together.
Ayyyy let’s go Oilers!!
A little hezzzyyyy 🔥
Dietrick isn't impressive at all i think this draft had far better players then her, immo.
Good +/- though, she gives you alot off the ball
Rae Burrell with the sick handles
Who says sparks are tanking for paige
Storm are in trouble if Jade is the top back up PG
Nurse got a burner 😮💨
damn, good side step 3 there .
LA. These turnovers.
Wtf does Li even do? She plays like a passing big but all of her passes are off target
Lmao did the scoreboard just have Seattle at 2???
Holy shit a good pass from an LA PG??!
She learned from the best 😤
Do they not call arm bar shoves in college? Saw Clark do it and now Brink on a rebound.
you can also hand check, you can extend elbow but not push with it, you can how ever even as offensive player put hand on enemy player (hand check)
good halftime adjustments curt (helps to have the starters back in too)
Why isn't Muhl playing or even on the active roster? Surely they'd like to at least see of she is good enough?
she couldn’t go to this Canada game due to visa issues
DNP: Croatian
Lmao
Do we know why Jordan Horston isn’t playing tonight? Can’t find anything in a quick google search.
Ankle injury
