Quick Analysis: "WNBA Champion & Six-Time WNBA All-Star Taj McWilliams Signs With Liberty"
After trading starter Cathrine Kraayveld to the Chicago Sky in the deal to get Cappie Pondexter and drafting three guards, the New York Liberty finally addressed their biggest need in signing Taj McWilliams: offensive rebounding.
Although McWilliams has been on the decline in recent years, she is a much better offensive rebounder than Cathrine Kraayveld by percentage. However, another significant benefit to McWilliams is that she is much more of an interior presence than Kraayveld -- while Kraayveld had a 2 point percentage of 37.5% in 2009, McWilliams had a 2 point percentage of 50.74%. In addition, she was one of the best passing interior players in the league last year by the assist rate (22.07% - higher than Ashley Houts' college rate) and pure point rating. Overall, the signing is a plus for New York.

Now the only remaining big questions for me are...
1. Does Burse stay in Seattle, go somewhere else or not play this summer?
2. Does Chicago trade Tolliver and if so to who?
3. Who does Ford sign with?
One more:
How is San Antonio going to fill out their rotation on the wing:
San Antonio Silver Stars Roster (Training Camp Edition): What will they do with all those posts?
And beyond Ford, how is Tulsa going to fill out the roster?
