 ESPN.com: WNBA - Inside the Connecticut Sun
In 2003, the Sun's perimeter carried the team as Shannon Johnson, Nykesha Sales and Katie Douglas each averaged at least 30 minutes per game and, as the team's top three scorers, combined for 40.5 points, or 57 percent, of Connecticut's offense.
She's a very steady player who seemed to be the team's glue in 2003, and this will be a big loss because she was the sort of player who could come off the bench (she also started 22 games) and fill a lot of holes.
The Sun gave up 70.9 points last season, and to have any success in this conference, they need that number to be closer to 65 or 66 points.
