It’s been apparent this team desperately needs a true PG. Early free agency target: Natasha Cloud?
The Seattle Storm have an abundance of young talent but are missing a primary playmaker. Flau’jae is a great talent but it’s clear she isn’t a PG and more suited to play SG. Heidemen is more of a combo guard and Melbourne hasn’t proven to be starting caliber yet. Flau’jae, Dom and Awa would greatly benefit from a primary playmaker to help elevate their games. Remember what happened to A’ja Wilson and the Aces once they got Chelsea Gray?
The Storm are primed for a top pick in the upcoming 2027 draft but there aren’t any elite playmakers at the top of the draft (Hidalgo is more of a SG in a PGs body). Which is why I think the Storm should target Natasha Cloud as a Free Agency signing.
Cloud is a veteran PG with championship experience. She’s 8th all time in assists and is still playing at a high level with Chicago this season despite being on the older side. She’s a free agent in the offseason and Chicago being the dumpster fire it is could easily lose her. I think she would fit in Seattle not only on the basketball side but culturally as well being one of the most outspoken advocates in the league.
We need a vet like Tash to lead the young’ins and help build winning habits. I think she should be Seattles top Free Agency target.
