Somewhat Similar Take by Seattle on Taking M. Holmes

Via Talia Goodman:

Seattle Storm GM Talisa Rhea on drafting Mackenzie Holmes:

“Yeah, I think for us, we see it as a developmental piece and someone you know who we can bring in next year, who's going to have an offseason to go through the rehab process but also to have some skill development time and to come into camp next year ready to go but I think she's a really fundamentally sound player, versatile, big plays, who plays how we like to play, can guard, can stretch and is continuing to work on her three point shot. And so we're excited also that she was she was there at 26 and she's someone we can look to in the future.”

Take a post player who needs to transition to the pro's, had an injury (serious for Kitley, nagging for Holmes), "draft 'em and stash 'em" in the hope they can recover and improve some of the holes in their game.

Megan Gustaffson, now -- interestingly, also on the Aces -- went through doing this for an endless amount of 10-day contracts and stints in Euro leagues.
