That's too bad it didn't work out for her.

No. not good news for Shanna. I agree the translator sucks. I don't understand anything except Shanna is no longer with the team. To be fair, Good Angels planned to have Holdsclaw but she left with recurring injuries. No one would expect Shanna to fill the void from Holdsclaw. They need a go-to player to keep them in Euroleague contention. Because of the foreign player limit, Shanna's departure is unavoidable. Sad to see her Europe season falls short but I don't agree she was that bad.

Yeah but they didn't replace her with a Holdclaw type and I don't think she was brought in for that. They replaced her with McCourtry. Granted she was rookie of the year but that is like apples to oranges. It sounds like from the translation they expected alot more of her based on her reputation then what they go out of her.
She really needed to get overseas play IMO to show what she can do.

I agree Shanna needs the overseas play to show what she can do. I hope there are still plan for her in near future. Wonder if there are some late start season in other parts of the world.

I saw part of Good Angels' Euroleague game on Webcast once. They lost and their were not really playing as a team in the quarter I watched. They missed easy layup, misssed outside shots (including Shanna). The whole team wasn't in sync. I don't think replacing Shanna with McCourtry is going to save them from elimination during the qualifying round.

Probaly not but McCourtry is a much better player then Shanna and she can create, so she might make it closer.
I think Shanna's best hope would be after January. Rosters and budgets are set, and unless you are a high profile player that a team will cut another player for, it will be tough without being an injury replacement.

The bad news for Shanna is the SASS players over the past 3 years to get cut from their Euro teams have ended up getting cut from SASS. I don't think it's specifically realted to that except it's an indication for where their game is at. The WNBA is lot tougher.

Unhappy Shanna's Team: Dobrí anjeli Košice / Good Angels Kosice {Slovak Republic}

Eurobasket.com: Nov 10, 2009 | Dobri Anjeli add Angel McCoughtry, axe Shanna Crossly-Zolman

Quote:
Dobri Anjeli decided to shake up their roster after a slow start in Euroleague. The Slovakian powerhouse said bye to Shanna Crossly-Zolman (178-G-83, college: Tennessee). The team was disappointed with her performance and decided to part ways with the player.
Quote:
Dobri Anjeli are not satisfied with the performance of Ekaterina Lisina (198-C-87) and Anastasia Kostaki (172-G-78). The management hopes to see these players improve their game.
