You join the Lynx team, which was at the top of the ranking throughout the season. Minnesota is 24-5, six games before New York Freedom for the best league record. In Carrington, Minnesota, the team is gaining a high -power defender from the elite who can also score points of two numbers on any specific night.
They give up players – Miller and Samwaleson – who have not played a major role in Minnesota. The average Miller, which was drafted second in 2023, is 4.1 points in only 9.7 minutes per game, while Samuelson will become this season due to a foot injury.
How to suit Digonai Carrington in Minnesota
For Caringetton, Minnesota is an ideal destination. She will compete for a championship – just as she did last year for the sun – but she will not have to withstand much of the recording load that she had in Dallas.
The 5’11 Guard is likely to come out of the bench; The current starting lineup for Minnesota includes three stars-Carkons Williams, Kayla McBraide, and Naphesa Collier-alongside Alanna Smith, and Bidget Carleton. Or, it will start instead of Carlton, which reached average of 6.9 points and 2.3 passes in the shooting year to some extent (35.9 % of three of this season, decreased from 44.4 % last season).

Another element that must be observed is that Naphesa Colleier looked as if it was dispersed in its ankle in its victory on Saturday over Las Vegas Acess and could miss a great time; Carrington is another strong rotational player who can start in the starting assortment in the absence of Coller.
Either way, you will play with a team that has given priority for a long time – and win.
What Dallas Wings are getting against Carrington
While Diamond Miller did not play for large minutes this season, it is not sagging. The attacking team 6’3 won the honor of the Wnba All-Rokie team after it ranked second in the scoring (12.1 PPG), the fifth in the reversion (3.5 RPG) and the second in passes (2.5 APG) in 2023. This season, all of them lead forward in three points, hit 53.8 % of the bow.
Dallas will benefit from her outdoor shooting, and Miller may get a much more chance in a new destination. Currently, the wings are made third of three throws per game (6.8) and filming the fourth percentage (32.2 %).
Samuelson is another strong rotational player, but he will not wait this season after undergoing surgery at the end of the season.
It is clear that Dallas is not in a Win-of mode, but it will be in the mixture to add another higher selection alongside the Paige Buickers in this season.
