Cambage Gives Shock Hope for Future

Part of the ownership group of the Tulsa Shock owns a portion of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
They remember what it was like when the Thunder was still in Seattle and had one young budding superstar and little else.
They say it kind of reminds them of the current Shock.
The Thunder finally grew up around Kevin Durant to become an NBA contender.
The Shock hopes the same will happen around Liz Cambage.
Cambage has been especially good in her first three games and shows tons of potential.
She has a chance to be a dominating player in the WNBA, a player similar to Durant in the NBA.
She can be a double-double machine with the type of athletic ability she has to go with her 6-foot-8 height.
Still, the Shock has no offensive help around her this year.
It would be surprising, unless Tulsa can find and sign some unemployed shooters who can light it up, if the Shock improves much from last season.
Cambage and fellow rookies Kayla Pedersen and Chastity Reed have a chance to be very good players in this league.
But Tulsa desperately needs former OSU star Andrea Riley, among others, to start knocking down shots.
Without any perimeter help so far this season, the Shock would appear to be the league’s worst team again this year.
The only way that changes is if the Shock finds some shooters.
