With some of their star players back from playing overseas, two teams finally held Media Days yesterday.

In Phoenix, they are still waiting for Cappie Pondexter and Penny Taylor. But Diana Taurasi was there to talk to the Media. Unlike the last two seasons, Taylor should be there for the opening game.

With this year's team, Coach Westhead may even turn up the speed of Paul Ball.

In Seattle, the return of Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson created excitement in camp. But maybe not as much as Barbara Turner leaving the Turkish playoffs early to make sure she has a shot of making the Storm roster this year.

"It was a very tough decision to not play in the final game," Turner said.

Alan Horton includes a review of the battle between Turner and Shyra Ely for the final roster spot in his reports from practice yesterday.
