LA Rams New Face of the NFC West?

Janet Lavender reserve center for the LA Sparks earned the 6th woman of the year honors.

The Sparks are the 2 seed in the 2016 WNBA Playoffs currently going on right now.

They ended the season only losing 8 games and winning 26 games.

In the WNBA the regular season is much shorter than the NBA.

Almost everything in the WNBA is shorter than in the NBA.

For example, the season, the games played in a series in the playoffs are shorter and the amount of teams in the WNBA as well.

This does not stop the teams in the league from being competitive, if anything I think it makes them more competitive.

There were games that Jantel Lavender did not even play in.

Then there were games where she played in and was a dominant force to be reckoned with.

This dominance helped her earn the 6th woman of the year award.

Head Coach Brian Agler does not play many bench players, he usually just plays his starters.

After the All-Star Break he started playing more bench players to give his starters rest.

Also he did this to see how his bench would handle certain game situations.

He did this since in the playoffs you need a bench to sustain the tempo an flow of the game when the starters are resting.

Jantel Lavender has earned this award for the first time in her sixth year in the WNBA.

She is a reserve behind starting center Candace Parker.

Jantel Lavender on the season averaged 9.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game this season.

All this means is the LA Sparks have a deep depth on their roster.

This will allow them to make it to the 2016 WNBA Finals.

The LA Sparks have turned their performance around from exactly one year ago.

This can partially be because they missed Candace Parker last year.

They made the playoffs with a losing record even without her.

This year they made the playoffs with her, but the LA Sparks players performed much better than last year.

They could have made the playoffs without her this year.

There is no doubt she is one of their best players on the team.

For example with Jantel Lavender and Nneka Ogumike earning awards, this proves they performed better in 2016 than they did in 2015.

This also proves they can win with anyone on the court.

All that is next is for them to win it all.
