Seattle Storm were hit with some bad news prior to the beginning of the WNBA season, as Janell Burse had been named out for the whole season.  Burse re-aggravated a Jones fracture, which was a broken bone on her foot, while playing overseas.

New York Liberty signed guard Leilani Mitchell, who was previously with the Phoenix Mercury, as their 25th draft pick.

As a reminder, we’re currently in pre-season.  The regular season begins on May 17th, however I don’t expect to accumulate enough data until at least 5 games in, possibly more.  I’m looking forward to it!  Remember to subscribe to the picks newsletter to the right.
