based on what she did once inserted into the starting lineup.
She moved the ball well, rebounded well for a guard and, of course, knes Arike's game inside out. Since that's the Wings' meal ticket (still), that counts for a lot.
Still, there's a new coach in town and the Wings had a mess of draft picks, which they largely used (only traded one). I was a tad concerned. Still...
This year, the videos from training camp that I've seen (and one that I posted) seem to show Marina doing well in practice. And, what's intersting is that she'd distributing the ball. Note: these videos were sent by the team.
Plus, in the one exhibition game boxscore, she didn't play, which was not a slight (I think), but a way of seeing how newcomers play. Marina, Arike, Sabally and Alarie weren't on the court -- I'm not even sure if Arike's back from Europe or she just got there.
While Marina doesn't have a guaranteed contract, I think she's still on rookie terms, so she (and Arike) are bargains. So, I'm leaning "yes."
Can't see the Wings giving Dungee and Evans the keys to the kingdom over a guard that really helped turn the team into an interesting watch last year. Pl;us, Marina has good size, seems to have improved with her stints in the WNBA and overseas. Then again, I'm (just a little) biased....
