Sun GM Chris Sienko explains why he's happy to have Whalen instead of Pee Wee: "With Pee Wee, she likes to run and move and really make things happen. But sometimes the best thing to make happen is to get your teammates involved. I think that sometimes - no disrespect to Pee Wee - that just wasn't the case on the floor. I think for Lindsay, it's, 'Let's find my players first and then make it happen [on her own] as a last option.'"

The Whalens have been getting to know Connecticut. Lindsay's mom says Connecticut is "a lot like Minnesota out here. It's real hilly and lot of trees. She's very fortunate that she can come out and live on the east coast and come home for a few months to Minnesota in the fall."
