Getting a late start on this annual thread. Please post any WNBA info. Only 3 Knights still playing with Piph's retirement. Betnijah Laney-Hamilton remains with NY Liberty, Kahleah Copper traded out to Phoenix(ugh), and Erica Wheeler remains with Indiana.
Tidbits; Kah scored 38 points for her debut in Phoenix. Wheeler gets to share the backcourt with Caitlin Clark.

Thx For Posting All Those Interviews - Heights Comparisons Possible

OK, OK, I know I remain obsessed with this. Can't help it. But each interview posted in the last day or so is with Chris Corso (I have no idea how tall he is). But it gave a frame of reference for each player's height.
My inexact perspective on the heights of the players interviewed:

J Williams is about 2", or a little more, taller than Corso (so maybe Corso is 6'2"?, making Williams 6'4".

Harper is clearly at least 2" taller than Williams.

Somerville is about 6" to 7" taller than Corso, 2" to 3" taller than Harper. Big body, thickness-wise.

Dortch is clearly taller than Somerville - but skinny/wiry.

Acuff looks about the same or similar height as Williams - meaning other than Davis, those are the 2 shortest RU players.

Derkack is 4" to 5" taller than Corso - roughly similar to Harper's height.

Hayes is clearly shorter than Derkack or Harper ... not clear to me he is 6'6" (as some have listed him) - but he IS thick/strong in the upper body.

Martini looked taller than I expected, clearly and visibly taller than Harper and Derkack, for sure ... and looks like he has a very strong and jacked upper body.

Bailey is tall - and wiry (like Dortch) ... I would say no taller than Dortch, maybe not even quite as tall as Dortch.

So ... pick your baseline (Williams/Acuff, or Dortch/Bailey), and work from there ... if Williams and Acuff are 6'4", then Harper and Derkack are 6'6", or maybe a fraction taller ... Somerville is 6'8" or 6'9" ... Dortch/Bailey are 6'9" to 6'10" (Dortch a bit taller than Bailey) ... Martini is 6'7" or 6'8" ... Hayes is maybe between 6'5" and 6'6" - but shorter than Derkack and Harper, and well short of Martini.

OT: Anti-Virus Software

I've been using Kaspersky for my windows laptops for some time now but I have received emails recently from Digital River, authorized reseller of Kaspersky antivirus software stating your Kaspersky software will STOP updating after September 29, 2024, leaving your devices vulnerable to new and emerging cyber threats due to a recent U.S. ban on Russia-based cybersecurity company Kaspersky. I'm assuming this is true so any recommendations for replacements? Digital River recommends Bitdefender.
