I’ve seen Washington twice: A loss at Golden State last week, and last night’s win over Indiana in an unfamiliar building.
In those two games, Mystics guard Sonia Cintron gathered 15 rebounds. I’ve been dazzled, thinking she’s the best rebounding guard I’ve ever seen, and darn it, why didn’t I ever watch her at Notre Dame.
In the three Mystics game I have not seen, Cintron has 7 rebounds. This bears keeping an eye peeled.
Cintron averaged 5.8 rebounds per game in four years at Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish were the best rebounding team in the ACC last year, with four guards averaging 26.4 of their 42.6 rpg. Los Angeles’ new kid Liatu King, who helped fuel Sparks’ long run two nights ago vs. Atlanta, collected 10.4 rpg. She’s a guard?!
