Unfortunately that's the league they've built, that's not friendly to rookies. NFL will have "Welcome to the NFL Rook" moments, but the veterans generally want to help the rookies with finances, decision making, and overall career advice. I'm sure the WNBA has those players too, but they're ruled by the popular cheerleaders, not the governing student body.

Yeah from her perspective she could use time off to get some rest. Physically and mentally. And to work with her team on actual practice and to fine tune her skills. She definitely needs a lot of work. It’ll work out well for her.
And this may be for the better because the wnba purists need to get knocked the hell off their high horse, and lukewarm or bad ratings is a good way to do it. I would definitely agree that some of that entitlement won’t go away until they get rid of the old guard, just like in USWNT. But at some point the new guard will take over and everyone can see they bring a different and way better energy.
