I must say, I have mixed feelings about the Gruda acquisition coming so late in the season and at the expense of a Whitney Knight. The same with the Mystics' recent acquisition of Leilani Mitchell, which pushed Jamie Weisner out the door. But I guess that's the nature of supply and demand in the free market. Very few rookies are able to make a roster to begin with, and even the ones who do make a roster often find themselves on the chopping block later on, well into the latter stages of the season.
I have posted in this space before, wondering whether or not the Sparks were going to make some moves. More importantly, why haven't theydone so sooner, as the bench has been mostly unused this season. And who knows, maybe that's why they are where they are now.
But of all the great players in this country and worldwide, is Sandrine Gruda really the best available? I think not.
I also figured that if the Sparks were going to acquire someone new, it would be a backcourt player. Thus far their one notably productive bench player has been Jantel Lavender. I would've expected Dabovic to contribute way more than she has been, considering how well she performs with the Serbian national team, but she barely even gets minutes with the Sparks.
Dabovic's lack of playing time this season - when she was such a crucial cog last year - has been a source of puzzlement for all of us on Sparks media row, too.
