Aged a little, but is familiar with Utah's system and is 34. 7'2" gives us some good length against the Lakers. A little more polished than Fesenko as well as being much more mature. A really good free throw shooter for a big (79% career).
Put up some pretty good career numbers: 24 MPG, 6.6 RPG, 2.7 BPG, 10 PPG.
We could probably sign her for the rest of the MLE, but I think she had a baby in recent years so it may take some convincing. One option, however, is considering a sign-and-trade with the LA Sparks, as they still retain her Bird rights. We could offer Kirilenko and they could send us Dydek and a conditional second rounder in next year's WNBA draft.
Why the Sparks do it: though it's a gamble to take on AK at this point, if he plays to form he could be a candidate for most improved next year, which could possibly make them contenders pending his teammates pass him the rock. Worst-case-scenario he expires.
The numbers speak for themselves.

Any idea on her PER?
