The Sky cut their roster from 18 to 15 on Saturday by waiving guards Tilly Boler, Sammie Puisis and Arella Guirantes. All three played fewer than 10 minutes Friday in the preseason game against Brazil.
The team has two preseason games left, Tuesday and Saturday against the Lynx, before opening the season May 17 against the Fever. It’s imperative that they trim the roster and set a rotation by the opener to gain continuity.
“It’s very important to have an established rotation,” Marsh said. “We’re not sure what that’s going to look like come Indiana… We’ll take a look and see how we’re progressing.”
Marsh started Courtney Vandersloot, Ariel Atkins, Kia Nurse, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso against Brazil and played six reserves more than 10 minutes each: Michaela Onyenwere, Maddy Westbeld, Elizabeth Williams, Rachel Banham, Rebecca Allen and Hailey Van Lith.
He cautioned that his starting five could shift before the start of the season, but said it was a group he felt “comfortable” with after the first week of practice.
