DRAFT PICK SUGGESTION!!!!!!!
Posted April 16, 2012
on:Wow oh wow! I feel like it has been ages since we have conversed! What’s up guyssss I’ve missed you all! And hello to the new members of TeamCAPPA. Season is ALMOST HERE!!!!!!!!! Before I start talking about the draft though, here’s an overview of what Cap has been up to in Turkey.
GAME 1 of the FINALS Capo had 17 points, 2 steals, and 4 rebounds!! Fener won by 6!!!!
GAME 2 of the FINALS Capo lead the way with 29 points and 3 rebounds!! Fener won by 5!!!!
Now GAME 3 will be on Tuesday!!!! ONE MORE WIN AND FENER ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways back to the draft THAT IS HAPPENING TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This here is our current roster:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Although her name has not been inputted into the roster, the Liberty have just signed Demya Waker (Mystics.) ……………………….
[We shall discuss Walker’s and Miller’s pick ups at a later date..]
So! We currently have 13 layers already on the roster, and of course we can only have 11 players. Time to do some subtraction and addition! I won’t be the one to say who deserves to stay or go here.. But I will be giving my opinions on who we should pick up! Sadly we have the 7th draft pick However last year we were even frather up on the list, and we were able to get Alex who has showed us she has great potential!! This 2012 draft is not as stacked as last years one was however, so the Liberty will have to be smart about who they pick because I don’t see much room for trading this season.
MY PICKS:
Think to yourself, “What does my team need to be the last one standing??” Well clearly we already have the best player in the world
But clearly that just isn’t enough! What else do we need? Now a lot of these “professional analyst” are saying we need to go BIG! And I honestly do not agree with that. Piers is a freaking BEAST, Q is playing with so much potential I just KNOW she is going to bring it this year, and HELLO KV got Most Improved last season!!!!!! BIG is seriously not our problem here!!!! Cappie our star, that is clear to everyone, and although Cap ‘s talent was clearly God-Sent, she is a HUMAN. Cap can not continue to play the entire game and be 100%! We need another G that can come and handle Cap’s role when she needs to take a breather! Now yes yes, we did just sign Kelly Miller!
Who avg 7 points and 3 assist. I am very happy about this grab!! Brings leadership and basketball knowledge! However I am a realist… Miller is 34 years old……………………………… Miller is like a fitness nut, so her age really ins’t a problem for now. However I am just thinking of our FUTURE. Miller will prob gives a 1-2 years. But what next? Kia and Q are babies, we have many more years with them being our BIG’s! I want to make sure we have many more years with our smalls as well! Lei is just 27 years young, but we all know that she feels the most comfortable in the 1. Sydney Colson [if you follow me on Twitter you know that I LOVE her] But she didn’t get hardly any PT last season. We need a young guard that can come into the game making wise shots and passes. That is why I will stop prolonging this blog and just say it…….
WE NEED SAMANTHA PRAHALIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now if you are not sure why I picked a player many people may not be familiar with, remember that we have the #7 pick! We are not going to get Hayes or Nneka! Be real! Prahalis played for OSU! Although they did not go to the Final 4, they were a very strong competitor in their conference leading the way! Jantel Lavendar (Spark) played with Sammy last season, Jantel made all the shots and Sammy got all the assist. With the loss of Lavendar, Sammy had to step up BIG TIME in order for OSU to even win games. She went from AVG 14.5 points a game last season, to AVG 20.1 points this season!! Sam has brought in nearly 1000 ast in her college career as well as 246 steals! This girl is LIGHTENING FAST!!! Which is something else the Libs can use. I have seen many people call us slow before…………..not the best feeling in the world. Carson, Alex, and Syd are the fastest people on our team right now. We need someone that is going to push tempo every second she is on the court!!!! Here is some game footage on Sammy!
GO TO 1:20!!! WTHHHHH!!! Dude us not getting this kid will be just foolish!! We will never come across another guard that has eyes in the back of her head like this!!!! A great play marker is EXACTLY what we need! Getting a passer like this will create so much more opps for our BIGS!!!!! Not only can she get others shots, she gets her self shots too! I could not find a video but this girls crossover game is just NASTYYY. With the mentoring from Cappie, I seriously think Sammy could be the face of this team down the road!!
PLEASE NY LIBERTY GET US A BETTER BALL HANDLER!!!!!!! -Signed, ALL LIBERTY FANS!!!!
Catching Up with Capo
Posted February 12, 2012
on:Lol. Cap is a clown! Just watch this video!
It’s only been a little over a 2 weeks that Cap has been in Turkey; And the country is already feeling her presence strong! Cap did not play in the first few games, due to jetlag. However the first time she suited up was to play in the teams BIGGEST rivalry! Fener vs Gala. Gala being the team that now holds Diana Taurasi, Tina Charles, and E.Prince. Despite these two teams having All-Star rosters.. FENER GOT THE WIN!!!! BIG win I might add. 81 – 65! Capo had 7 points and 3 rebounds in that win! And here is some footage of Cap with her team after the game:
[
So as you can see Cap is having a great time at her 2nd home! The fans take great care of her! She also had a good game this morning bringing in 10 points. Below are more pics of her in Turkey. And once I find links for you guys, i’ll post them!

Yesssss the rumors that have been spinning around for the past year are finally being silenced! The whispers can stop because the truth has been revealed people!! Cappie just signed a contract to return to the beloved city of INSTANBUL!!
We’re headed to Turkey my friends!!!!!!!!
Now for those who are not familiar with Cappie’s overseas career… hmmmm….. Let’s make this short and sweet..
“Our” Cappie is a freaking GOD to Turkish people!!!! She began her overseas career in Turkey. Playing with such WNBA players as DT, Penny Taylor, Tammy Sutton-Brown, Ebony Hoffman, etc. While she was dressed in blue and yellow; Capo lead the only undefeated team in Fener history! Adding another 2 championship victories under her belt!
So clearly you can see that Capo handles her business on the court while in Turkey. However I want you guys to truly understand the significance of Cappie’s return to Turkey! Overseas players are the people who invented “Die-Hard Fan!” Fans overseas will literally kill over sports! I would say there might even be more Turkish fans following me than Russian or American! So yes our Cap is in great hands!!
Capo heads back over seas in late January! Her first game with Fener will be on Feb 1st. Fener will be taking on Perfumerias Avenida that day. Which leads me to my main topic.
Games!
Now you guys know that I always find a way to get you guys links and live streaming of games. However, it also helped that UMMC [Capo’s former overseas team] Had many links available for the general public. Now Turkish sites are not at all as user friendly. Yes, I will be able to get you guys some links; but not all of them. Many teams in Turkey have website that want you to pay an subscription fee. Even though I will probably buy the subscription, I highly doubt that many of you guys will. I am currently speaking with different Turkish fans on trying to beat the system. I just want you guys to understand I am trying the best I can; so please do not be impatient.
Another topic..
Teammates
Capo will not be the only legal citizen of America on this Fener team. The current WNBA players are Penny Taylor and Angel mcCoughtry…. And of course all leagues have their own special and stupid rules. The current rules are as follows.
There can be no more than 2 American players on the court during an EuroLeague game.
–That’s of course in my own words.
So clearly during every EL game someone has to sit out… Nowwwww call me cocky..i don’t really care.. But Cappie Pondexter is not about to be sitting on no bench! –However if for some reason something that ridiculous does happen; No now that you will not be seeing Cappie suit up that game. Reason I am bringing this to your attention is because the majority of the games that I can find for you, will be EL games.
No worries #TeamCAPPA Cappie is super excited to finally be back in Turkey! Which is one of her favorite places to be in the world! Sad she is not going to get the 5 month rest like she planned; She is still getting a longer rest than she has had in yearssssss.
Also!!!!!! Cappie finally gets to spend a birthday with her friends and family!!!!!
Yess Capo’s 29th birthday is in just 4 days people!!!!!!! Jan 7th!!!! I am going to need you guys to send her lots of love and blessings on that day!!!!!!
That’s it for now folks! Stay blessed!!!!!

UMMC/ УГМК/ EKAT/
Wow. The first half of the 2011-2012 season has come to a halt. Amazing how time flies.
But what’s even more astonishing; Is that this is the final year I will be writing about UMMC. In case you have not heard, yes it is true. Cappie is no longer apart of the UMMC organization. Four years Cappie has spent wearing an orange and white jersey. Being the starting point guard, and one of the best players on the team. Cappie is leaving Russia to head home and for once in her life get some rest. Since high school years Capo has been flying in and out of the country, doing what she was born to do. Although Cap is taking just a few short months off from work, I will now take this time to answer an absurd question that I keep receiving.
Is Cappie retiring from basketball??
