Atlanta’s dream has been renewed this season. They rented Karl Smissco, the women’s basketball coach in FGCU, and they signed players Like Britney Greener and Brion Jones. There were many questions about Griner and Jones in particular, given the Smesko style to play when trained in NCAA. Coming from a system that gives priority to shooting the ocean, and bringing dominant players like Griner and Jones looked … strange?
How does that do so? Who will start? Does Smesko still expect these players to shoot the three? They are all good questions that the fans were asking before the first match in Atlanta before the Sufi. With 11:30 am Et Tipoff to accommodate a field trip day for local students, the West Coast fans are still waiting for their coffee to start completely when the game started.
They are likely to escape their eyes to ensure that they did not see things when the first Atlanta play was an indicator of three key. I also made the shot. Grener is 36.4 % marches of three points that acquired only 44 years in her 11 -year -old career before this season … so it is fair to say that this was not really shot.
The first dream of Atlanta possesses the SMSKO era.
Middle PNR with Jordin Canada and Betney Grener, but look at spacing.
BRI Jones begins on the wing with Rhyne Howard, and it dives into the basket late. Alisha Gray in the other corner. A lot of space for Canada to explore. pic.twitter.com/0fqjhopsaw

Online reactions reflected the shock to be the first play of the team for this season:
BG Forray Three of the upper part of the key – Smeskoball here!

Two make in the first three minutes, I see you

I still do not believe that the league let Atlanta get BG * and * Bri Jones

Then Greener achieved three other points, scored 10 points to help the dream get progress from two numbers before the end of the first quarter. If you can keep these high skills while continuing to have a dominant force under the edge on both sides of the court? Atlanta will rise in the league (and possibly arrangement) energy categories. In addition, Jones’s presence to go to when BG sits on the bench is incredible for a dream.
There are still questions about how this team works with both Jones and Grener on the same time. It will also be important to see how the dream competes with the best teams in the league – Las Vegas, New York, Minnesota and Indiana in particular.
Unfortunately, the beginning of the first Dream also included another injury. Jordin Canada went on a campaign, which hurt her knee. She was returned to the treasury room, and it was announced shortly after that it will not return to the game.
The latest player in Atlanta, Shyanne Selers, Which the team obtained exemptions from Golden State, He has not yet joined the team and was not active for this game.
