The grade isn’t about that. It’s more about the confusion in the way the Chicago Sky are moving. Are you tanking, or are you trying to be competitive? <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/womens-sports/1110492/wnba-free-agency-grading-skylar-diggins-chicago-sky">Signing veterans like Skylar Diggins</a> and Stevens appear to be win-now moves, but <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/womens-sports/1110318/wnba-free-agency-grades-nneka-ogwumike-to-the-sparks-gets-an-a">Angel Reese was just traded away</a>.

They also gave the Mystics the right to swap first-round picks with them in 2027, and now outright gave them their 2028 pick.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">This is more a grade on the Sky’s choices than Azura as a prospect. She raises their level of play substantially and will be an excellent floor spacer around Kamilla Cardoso. The fact that she’s on a three-year deal probably impacts the overall money she will make, but that also locks her in to another rebuilding team for three years. Overall this has just been a strange offseason for the Sky, so it’s hard to give this move too high of marks.</p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> #Chicago #Sky #WNBAs #confusing #team

Winning on the road is special, but it is victories at home that set the template for a good season.

Lucknow Super Giants assistant coach Lance Klusener is well aware of his team’s poor record at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. The former South African all-rounder said they wanted to win for the fans who have come in large numbers to support the team.

“We come into this match with a lot of confidence after winning tough matches on the road. We would like to get off the mark at home and win it for the fans who have been supporting us,’’ he said.

Klusener credited the bowlers for his side’s away wins and said he wasn’t worried about the low returns from a few batter in the explosive batting lineup.

“We won the matches by chasing but I think the whole bowling unit has been outstanding. We have quite a few sleeping giants in our batting lineup. But they can wake up at the right time. It is a long competition and they will deliver,’’ he said.

Vijay Dahiya, the Gujarat Titans assistant coach said he wasn’t overtly worried about his team’s slow start to the season. “We played three matches and lost two. But we were in the game in all those matches. The nature of the format is such that we may win or lose close games. We take positives from every game and the key to success is executing the plans on the field,’’ he said.

The Dream also signed Allisha Gray, Brionna Jones, Naz Hillmon and Jordin Canada.  “This is a group that believes in Atlanta, believes in each other and is united in the pursuit of a championship,” Dream general manager Dan Padover said in a statement. “Allisha, Brionna, Jordin, Naz and Rhyne represent the standard we are building here in Atlanta; talented, unselfish and fully committed to winning.

Their work ethic, competitiveness and belief in one another drive everything we do. We’re excited to continue building with this group.”   These signings come on the heels of Atlanta acquiring two-time All-Star Angel Reese from the Chicago Sky on Monday.
