Women's basketball might be the most competitive job market in U.S. professional sports.
Situations such as Clark’s have been commonplace throughout the WNBA, which opens its regular season Friday. There are just 144 roster spots in the league, with each of the 12 teams able to carry 12 players. Because of salary cap maneuvering, many teams don’t use all 12 slots. Those limited opportunities have led to some harsh decisions, particularly with young players.
“Hopefully it gets to the point where this league is, we see an expansion in terms of teams, but that starts with salaries and starts the salary cap and investment into our league.” “We want to have any new owners coming into the league faced with the potential of a successful franchise. We're still building that economic model I've been talking about, but we'll definitely be talking about this more this summer.”
“[Larger rosters] would also allow for longer player development, that we would be able to take some players and let them develop at the rate they need to develop rather than cutting them and hoping that they develop when they go overseas. It’s a very big Catch-22.”
