r/valkyries Wiki pages officially launched! V 1.0

Hello everyone, we have some exciting news. The r/valkyries subreddit now has an official Wiki to provide comprehensive information on all things Valkyries! The Wiki provides information on the following topics:

We also have an amazing stat-minded member of the sub, u/da_ninjafuzz, who will be building out the stats page and providing their knowledge to the community! Shout out to u/da_ninjafuzz for donating their time to do this.

As we gradually move throughout the season and beyond, the Wiki will be updated to reflect the most current news and information. The Mod Team may also be reaching out to other trusted members of the community in the future to provide offers in becoming "Approved Editors" for various Wiki pages.

And on that note, we want to ask the community here what information you would like to see in the "New Valkyries / WNBA fans" section. When you were new to the WNBA fandom, what was useful info for you? For those of you who are new to the WNBA and/or the Valkyries team, what info would you like to see as a guide for new fans?

Thank you all for being a part of the r/valkyries community and the Valkyries fandom! We hope this Wiki proves to be a useful resource for those in this community and beyond.

I watched nearly all of Justė Jocytė's games this season in the Spanish League, AMA

I was kind of baffled to why our first round pick last season decided to stay in Europe and delay her start with the Valkyries. So once she signed with Spar Girona and the Spanish League streams all their games for free, I started watching her minutes. I got to see her team up with Valks Laeticia Amihere and Chloe Bibby. And play against Kaitlyn Chen, Gabby Williams, Iliana Rupert, and Carla Leite throughout the season.

I think I have a good idea of what she brings to the Valkyries as still a young player (20).

Good:

  • Good catch and shoot three point shooter
  • Elite free throw shooter (90%+)
  • Very good passing vision and very willing passer
  • Good size as a combo guard at ~6'2" (1.88m)
  • Has ability to score at all three levels

Concerns:

  • Not quick off the dribble
  • Poor shooter when off balance or pressured
  • Can lose confidence when her shot isn't falling
  • Turnover prone, sometimes her passes are too ambitious
  • Tends to disappear in games at times

It turns out the Valkyries coaches are way better at basketball than us (the meda)

Hi friends,

I am running my own Valkyries newsletter this season, which so far has been amazing, and I would love to connect with the community here more as well. I wanted to share my experience playing against the Valkyries' coaches this weekend in the media game where I was Not Good at basketball (I also bruised my knee very badly lol).

Valkyries Insider: How Kaila Charles took advantage of her WNBA chance

Marisa Ingemi wrote this nice piece in her Valkyries Insider. Here's an excerpt.

>Kaila Charles has found security, home in the WNBA

>A year ago, Kaila Charles was battling again. For the second straight season, she had made an opening day roster out of training camp, but her position was on the fringe.

>Then, the Dallas Wings cut her. It was the fifth time she was waived, and she wasn’t sure how many more WNBA opportunities were out there.

>The Golden State Valkyries, it turned out, needed her, too, and gave her the thing she has never had in her WNBA career: an opportunity to take a breath and just focus on basketball.

>“It's definitely one of my dreams come true and goals come true, to not only be playing in the W and doing what I love, but to play with a team that feels like a home and they accept me since day one and allow me to be myself,” Charles said at media day. “And so to be back here, I'm very thankful.”

Quick question for season ticket holders about unused tickets

What do you normally do when do when you can’t make a game and your ticket doesn’t sell?

Last year I remember people would post, but doesn’t seem like that’s a thing anymore.
