Las Vegas Aces · 3 notes
With the Las Vegas Aces' season over, keeping free agent Jackie Young after a career year is "a big priority," said Becky Hammon. "Ultimately, it's going to come down to her decision though." A'ja Wilson will stay in Young's ear but knows when to give her space.
Jewell Loyd started in Stephanie Talbot's place for the Aces and drew Caitlin Clark. Becky Hammon told her three stars to be ready to play all 40, more than she thinks she's ever played her guards. On Jackie Young: "If there's somebody that can do 40, it's her, I promise you."
Indiana rookie Raven Johnson's playoff role is growing, and she says she'll fill any role, even guarding Las Vegas's Jackie Young. At shootaround, Myisha Hines-Allen said: "we all knew what Raven could do. It's just a matter of now she's getting an opportunity to do it."
