Lucy Olsen update ?

[Anon1761515871]

Has her playing time increased? Am surprised at the lack of it. Any insights? TIA

 

[91hawki]

I’m not a fan of their coach as he doesn’t really give Lucy a chance.

When she gets PT, they play her more at SG vs PG

Problem there is Citron eats 30 plus minutes a game at that position. When Citron isn’t in, he plays Prosper or McMahon at SG

Long story short, she needs to find a different team

 

[Hendy Hawk]

Can't remember what team she plays for.

Washington Mystics

Repping the Hawks pregame last night, but not seeing the court very much.

She would get in games and do pretty well, but then not see the floor in a next game. Went up and down like this most of the season, and now hasn't seen the court in the last four games or so. It sucks because it's not like Amoore and Florez are lighting it up.

She needs to be traded, and needs a proper opportunity to play. Hope she gets that chance.

100% agree on this

While not a bust, Amoore isn’t exactly tearing it up for being the #6 pick

In fact, late in games they often have Citron play the point which tells you the lack of confidence they have with Amoore. Flores and Harmon

The fact they drafted Harmon when they already had Olsen on the roster tells you what the coach thinks about Olsen as a point guard

Hope Lucy gets traded in the off season where she can get some minutes

In the off season she played in Australia. Why not forget the WNBA and play a full season in Australia each year?

 

[NORTHSTAR]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$?

She's making $277k this year in the W. I doubt she's getting that in Australia

I don't think she played at all last night. Just ridiculous.

Correct and as someone else noted, her playing time has gone down as the season has gone on

Coach lately has decided to play bigger lineups, playing McMahon and Prosper at SG and Citron more and more at PG in the 4th

Lucy needs to get out of there They added 2 back up PGs to their roster this off season (Flores and Harmon) on top of Lucy returning

I am sure that is the plan. I couldn't think of a worse thing to do than sit on the bench all game long.

Lucy got a few minutes in mop up time last night

2/2 from deep. Give this girl some real PT

She’s on a really good young team with a lot of depth. Probably won’t happen there. Maybe she’ll get left unprotected and get taken by an expansion team. That’s her best case scenario, similar to Meg.

 

[oldxbbc]

Probably a little predjuced but I think she has some value. Hope she finds the right team.

Aren't they adding another team in Cleveland in 2028?

Yep...

2028 - Cleveland
2029 - Detroit
2030 - Philly

Should be ample opportunity for some current Hawks to join the league in that time period. Maybe even give Hannah another shot down the road.

Think how bad some of the end of bench players are now (Dantas?)...there are going to be some VERY marginal players when 3 more teams get added.

And they're going to 50 games when? Along with keeping Unrivaled going as well? Very smart here. There will certainly be no injuries.

Going to 50 games next year, and likely to go to 52 in 2029.

It may take a couple of years, but with the expanded season and being able to pay key players (like the Unrivaled founders) a lot more money it may be on borrowed time.

And they will be moving the end of the season more and more...in 2028 the season can last until 11/30, leaving some players very little time off between seasons.

IMO, Unrivaled is doomed. No interest.

I will always remember her last game with Iowa. She looked heartbroken. Hawkeye forever Lucy!

She's definitely a sweetheart

I think unrivaled was created to serve as a bargaining chip with the intent for it to be temporary. Phee was playing 3d chess.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Unrivaled set a couple of attendance records, but TV viewership was down.

Unrivaled sells out arenas but sees ratings dip in 2nd season

Unrivaled's second season featured ups and downs in terms of viewership, with the playoffs averaging 258,000 viewers on TNT and TruTv, down 9% from last year.
