Monika had the best hands in basketball. She knew how to position herself to receive the ball and then a quick move to the basket. Oh by the way, just a wonderful person as well.
She is wonderful. I loved the comment "no dribble Czinano, no problem". I wonder if her lack of a 3-point shot - she took very few/any? - worked against her in finding an WNBA position? Players are crazily talented today, and so many shoot a high percentage 3-point shot.
I also heard announcers comment on her remarkable footwork. I never really paid attention to a big’s footwork until they started commenting on hers regularly.
There's a funny interview with Monika where she talks about the first time she tried to catch "one of Caitlin's bullets" !The Law firm of Clark and Czinano were tough to stop. All the best to you Monika
This is the ONE person I said from Day One I would love to see reunite with CC. Big, fast, capable shooter, fearless, CAN SET A GOOD, FUNDAMENTAL SCREEN and would stand up for her against anyone. The kind of teammate CC deserves but which is TOTALLY non-existent on the Fever.
CZINANO was drafted by the Los Angeles Sparks in the third round of the 2023 WNBA draft was waived before the season began . As of the 2023/24 season Czinano is playing for TFSE-M TK BUDAPEST IN EUROS BASKETS HUNGRY-A Division it would be great if Stephanie White did somehow get her to play with the fever now
Thank you for the information. It seems quite cruel to draft and then waive a player before they play any games whatsoever. Can you really judge how they would perform with your team?
I’d like to see Monika be a Fever player. As commented upon previously here, she seldom dribbles around the basket, which means that she’s at the minimum a step faster than anyone guarding her. She’s 6’3” tall and quite apparently strong. She also seems to have similar court awareness as Caitlin Clark. Monika’s being on the team would be fun.
In the off-season I’ve been combing through the Iowa archives, watching their games from 2023 and 2024. I’ve seen them all before, but I needed my CC fix. Czinano and CC had a chemistry in ‘23 that was unmatched. Would love to see her back with CC. She’s a phenomenal player.
It warms my heart to see and hear you become delighted by the magic that was that Iowa Hawkeye team. I can’t blame Frank da Pope for fantsizing about Lisa Bluder coming out of the retirement. I think Lisa’a gift was in helping her players find in themselves and each other confidence, trust, and stamina to play at CC’s supernatural pace. If that was an easy thing to do, Christie Siles might still be coaching. And, boy, did those girls love her - and each other! I hope you can watch every one of their games on RUclips. Also, I have to admit my heart about burst when you awarded the Kindness Award to the Pause for Re-lacing. Keep it real, my friend.
Great comment! Thank you! I am about to add the Big Ten channel to my package and subscribe to Big Ten Plus so I can catch some Iowas games as well as JuJu with USC.
I keep on saying her name because she knows how to play her style of basketball and she can catch her balls. I really hope they get her to play with the fever. She would make an awesome player for the Indiana fever team. Bring in Monika Czinano
Warnock got the game-winning rebound in that Final Four win over South Carolina, amidst the trees of Boston and Cardoso, so many Iowa players made clutch plays to get to the finals in both 23 and 24. I've gone back and watched some of the 23, 24 Iowa games and they're more enjoyable than many WNBA games. Indiana, who was ranked higher, Michigan, highly ranked, some good games!
Yes, Let’s get Monika!!!🎉🎉. Also I liked how CC didn’t have to bring the ball down full court every time. It seemed like she had more room. Getting it to her around half court set her up for her shot. Great ideas - yep batting 1000%. Thank you
Liked the comments about Bluder encouraging the Hawkeyes team to play at CCC-22’s level-- and everyone seemed to get better as ballers and people- that was arguably one of the best collegiate teams (a Cinderella story) in the history of college ball.
They should get Czinano release Saxton, she is underrated said CC those two were the only duo who had 2000 points each, in one season in college. She always finished CC passing balls, she's fast as well. What I love about her is that she don't care about her stat, about CC being the star unlike Boston in the beginning, her game is consistent every game. Fever needs to release Smith too and get Satou.
Czinano and Clark were the only 2 teammates to break 2,000 points during the same season (2023) it was Czinano’s 5th year and Clark’s 3rd. They didn’t score 2000 points in one season.
When Monika (who came to Iowa as a 3 star as did Kate Martin) graduated I thought Iowa would have no shot at returning to the final four...boy was I wrong and that to me makes Iowa's back to back championship game appearances even more impressive. There is a good article on her if you search 'How no dribbling, elite footwork and an infectious personality produced Iowa post Monika Czinano'. I'll try to post a link below but it rarely escapes deletion.
I just finished watching their 2023 game AGAINST OHIO. Caitlin had 17 assists and most of them are hook past to Czinano. It's crazy how it's almost automatic bucket. And most interesting side note with that game was it was sideanchord by Stephanie white.
@@jdaniels1313 can't remember which one as I'm not familiar with schools in the US. I'm from Asia so. But that's beside the point for what I'm trying to say. Stephanie White is very familiar of Caitlin's game because she covered her even way back. Not only she had the best seat in the sideline watching her multiple times but she has access to the replay monitor and statistics. She had her film studied since HS. And when Caitlin said in one of her interview that she felt that the Suns has the best scout on them it makes sense because White knows how to slow her down.
Can you imagine CC, Czaino, AB, Kelsey and Lexie. To me this would be fantastic. As we have talked a bout, keeping the talent happy. Monica would make CC very happy.
I have been an Iowa women’s basketball season ticket holder since 2015 and it was amazing to see Mon and CC on the same court at Iowa. She is only 6’3 so if she’s developed her 3 point shot then she may be a good 4. She had a nice jumper from the baseline or free throw line area when at Iowa but I haven’t seen her play since then
The more they can get of Caitlins college mates, the greater the " Clark effect", as a lot of it is enthusiasm carried over from Iowa fans, who would know these names. Kate Martin sells an outsized amount of merch because of that association. I mean, if they're going to manufacture rivalries from college days, this would be one to watch.
That play where Monica after setting the two screens and while two defenders were preoccupied with Caitlin cuts right to the hoop for the easy lay up is perfection. That kind of court smarts and instinct is something you can't teach. Either you gots it or you don't and Monica sure gots it. Monica in the pivot and Aliyah at power forward is a dream.
i said this so long ago imagine it for real monika lead D1 in percentage as a center from the floor multiple years im assuming she'd run center since she cant space the floor but satou as forward and boston center czinano coming off the bench i and the millions of iowa fans would love
The thing is Monica’s footwork in the paint like on that spin move. BOSTON would put the ball on the floor for couple dribbles THEN try and go up. That’s why I’ve been sayin Boston should go spend time AT IOWA to work with Coach Jensen.
I cannot tell you how many times I yelled at the television for AB not to put the ball on the floor! She would often end up traveling also. SW will probably have her rocking, though.
Imagine Boston, cizano, Lexie hill, Kelsey Mitchell, and Caitlin on the floor as the starting 5 with a decent and deeper bench like Stephanie wants, chefs kiss bro 🤌🏼
Good eye on her, Adrienne. She definitely seems to have a nice mean streak, and toughness that would add nicely to this roster. I didn't realize she was a free agent, still wanting to get back to the WNBA. The other past Iowa teammate of CC's that I would love to add in the future if the Fever could draft her, is Hannah Stuelke.
Hannah has 2 years of college eligibility left, but if/when she declares, it would be awesome if the Fever could get her. I think other Iowa players with a potential WNBA future are Lucy Olsen, Kylie Feuerbach, and Teagen Mallegni.
I don't know anything about her wanting to play in the WNBA or what her overseas contract says. I'm just saying I like what I see and it would be great to see what that looks like.
@@theadriennerossshow she clearly wanted to. She entered the draft, was selected in the 3rd, the got waived. I can’t imagine her contract in Hungry is any different or more restrictive than the WNBA players that play overseas.
I too agree!! We as fans and our beloved Girl CC truly needs Monika to be in the roster & in the line up with love fight off the bullies and redirect that ball back towards fever buckets and Championship(S)
Love this. Steph White said team chemistry is one of the most important things. I think the Fever could've cashed in on that by drafting Kate Martin instead of Celeste Taylor, but I doubt Sides would've used her anyway. Can't wait to see our roster changes this off-season.
As a member of Iowa Hawkeyes Monika was part of sweet sixteen, elite eight, n a national championship game teams. She's got a gift to be in right place right time but she's very limited athletic wise. She truly needs to either be in rim running mode or two feet from basket to be effective.
@@colleenposadas8415 EXACTLY!!! Monika runs the floor and understands and completes simple plays such as the pick and roll and box out on defense. Neither of which AB could do at the start of the season and with limited improvement by the end of the season.
Yup. Steulke and Boston do not show the kind of control under the basket that Czinano show. She isn't the biggest but, she knows how to manage the paint like no other
Monika almost always make her move as soon as she gets the ball, no dribbling, that makes diificult to the defense to double team. I saw too many times AB put the ball on the floor and take too much time to make her play, that makes easy the defense to act and result in turnovers or contested shots, she may take some lessons with Mokica. CC and Monika where amazing together. Also she uses very well the euro step
They called Catlin and Monica "The Law Firm " for a reason because the connection they had was amazing!! Yes I agree the reason why Iowa was successful was because they were aggressive and definitely knew how to work with Catlin.
She sounds tough, looks tough, and word is she is . I just want CC protected. That claw/cut assualt was the last straw for me. I fear for CC next season unless I hear and see her coach and teammates defend and stand for CC. CC is taking a risk everytime she's on the court unless the W thugs are stopoed.
YES!! Go get Czinano!! Her talent and chemistry blend perfectly with CC!! Like Peanut Butter and Jelly on toast!! Toast as in, the opponents would be toast! DO IT!
If this happens, they should just get the trophies ready now. J/K! Watching them play would be amazing! I’m hoping Mitchell comes back. I heard she wanted to go to the new team so I hope that was just BS. Another great show! ❤😊❤
@ I hope not. She’s amazing and a big piece of the puzzle I believe. I like Wheeler too. There’s something about her that’s endearing to me. I’m doubting her return but hoping.
That would be cool to see what Kate Marten, Monika, Boston, Mitchell and CC. I'd take them 5 any day of the week. They could get Marten and Monika a lot cheaper than some of the veteran's in the league. I say go for it.
True, but Aliyah Boston gets into foul trouble a lot. It's a risk of the position. When that happens, Monica Czinano could be the one coming off the bench for her.
And if you want to talk about someone who will step in if someone tries to abuse Caitlin... At the VERY least, she won't let CC get blindsided without yelling heads up!
CC Monica are like a glove fits on a hand. CC said that Monica has the best hands she ever played with. Kate Martin, Monica , and Megan to the fever. Gabby Marshall is one of the best defensive players there is. Gabby says the coach told her she have to play better. Gabby told herself I have to play defense if I want to start. That what she did
It just dawned on me...Why did Christie Sides not play Saxton? Her an Aliyah were teammates...it would only make sense ESPECIALLY for defense. Saxton has some good highlights.
Yes on Czinano. How come nobody suggests Megan Gustafson come to Fever? Both shot 65%ish at Iowa and run fast Iowa transition offense style of play. Neither would need max contracts to sign either.
MG on rookie contract with the ACES? Not sure how she would be able to move out of that contract, just not familiar with those contract terms. I agree, CC, Czinano, Gustafson, Hull, Mitchell would be a fantastic lineup.
Megan has completed year 1 of a 2-year contract for the Aces. Only way to get her would be through a trade. I'm not so sure Fever has anyone that Aces would be willing to accept in a trade.
@theadriennerossshow yes, I posted that here , the pope show , black and white sports and several others You are actually the first to respond Thank you
Czinano's game seems to be a lot like Boston's. She would be nice to have, but I think they would be better off with Satou Sabally, who can open up the floor. On the other hand, the Fever could use more than one good forward/center type, and Lexie would be nice coming off the bench, backing up both the small forward and the guards, so hey.... what about both? Go Fever.
I ❤ these 1:30am notifications. Ok I’m listening & love Monica. As an Iowa alum, Monica would be a great asset but there’s honestly nothing better than college football ie Iowa Hawkeyes 🖤💛
I've been saying it get Martin from Vegas and Guff but now go get Monika. Talk about keeping talent happy. Jersey sales and a packed house for sure. Also umm they can play and win together
Easy to cherry pick a few lucky shots. Perhaps, Satou for Smith and Monika for KLS. One of Sides worst crimes was bench sitting several players that should have been more involved to test their potential development. Looks like CC was imitating KM for that quick three. ;-)
Monika had the best hands in basketball. She knew how to position herself to receive the ball and then a quick move to the basket. Oh by the way, just a wonderful person as well.

I also heard announcers comment on her remarkable footwork. I never really paid attention to a big’s footwork until they started commenting on hers regularly.
CC owes her most famous buzzer beater "the shot" against Indiana to Monika's screen. It was brutal and timed perfectly IMO.
There's a funny interview with Monika where she talks about the first time she tried to catch "one of Caitlin's bullets" !The Law firm of Clark and Czinano were tough to stop. All the best to you Monika
Iowa style of ball was fun to watch because they would run the other team to death, and by the 4th quarter the other team would run out of gas.
I think Stephanie White wants to replicate this. So fun.
That’s why they were called”The Law Firm” Clark and Czinano!!!
This is the ONE person I said from Day One I would love to see reunite with CC. Big, fast, capable shooter, fearless, CAN SET A GOOD, FUNDAMENTAL SCREEN and would stand up for her against anyone. The kind of teammate CC deserves but which is TOTALLY non-existent on the Fever.
Agreed! I said this also!
I’ve said this since the beginning. She makes Nylissa Smith look like a fool. CC would definitely want to play with her.
And she's tough as nails.
Czinano has the surest hands i have seen. She and Clark rocked together.
CZINANO was drafted by the Los Angeles Sparks in the third round of the 2023 WNBA draft was waived before the season began . As of the 2023/24 season Czinano is playing for TFSE-M TK BUDAPEST IN EUROS BASKETS HUNGRY-A Division it would be great if Stephanie White did somehow get her to play with the fever now

Somebody contact Fever woman leadership :)
@@tenderstepsPaul Likely a testament to the capabilities of the Sparks staff.
Yes, LA released her and Hungary got her. I'd like to see what she can do here now--with the Fever. Let's go!

After I watched the 1st Fever game with Caitlin, I said they needed Monika. No one agreed with me.
You called it… let’s hope they’re listening now
I did! 🎉🎉🎉
The Law Firm, 0 dribbles 😊
I agreed with you. and still do.
Not true, the Hawkeye community was calling for the Fever to bring in Monika
That duo was known as the Law Firm, just by the way they played together. Just imagine the Law Firm in the WNBA with Mitchell, Hull and Boston.
Would be CRAZY!
Your point about intensity versus physicality the W players think that physicality is what we wanna see but it’s really the intensity and skill
Yes
Monica was an expert as scoring without dribbling more than once . She was excellent at pinning her defender at the rim without the ball
Yes! For Monica! And this 2024 Iowa team is rocking too this season.. great basketball always!
Bc of great leadership foundation ❤

Monica would be a great backup for Aliyah Boston, where you know the team would continue playing Caitlin-ball while Boston gets a rest.

True, but Aliyah Boston gets into foul trouble a lot. It's a risk of the position. When that happens, Monica Czinano could be the one coming off the bench for her.
OH. MY. GOD! This would be awesome!
Good show; excellent information.
Real fans know who the "Law Firm" was, the best part of Monika's game was that she rarely dribbled. Just catch the ball in the low post and put it up.
Yes !
Citlyn has. chemistry with all her teammates.
A guard to a big is extra special.
And if you want to talk about someone who will step in if someone tries to abuse Caitlin... At the VERY least, she won't let CC get blindsided without yelling heads up!
That game was THE best!
Good idea
CC Monica are like a glove fits on a hand. CC said that Monica has the best hands she ever played with. Kate Martin, Monica , and Megan to the fever. Gabby Marshall is one of the best defensive players there is. Gabby says the coach told her she have to play better. Gabby told herself I have to play defense if I want to start. That what she did
That would be awesome ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
It just dawned on me...Why did Christie Sides not play Saxton? Her an Aliyah were teammates...it would only make sense ESPECIALLY for defense. Saxton has some good highlights.
Yes on Czinano. How come nobody suggests Megan Gustafson come to Fever? Both shot 65%ish at Iowa and run fast Iowa transition offense style of play. Neither would need max contracts to sign either.
MG on rookie contract with the ACES? Not sure how she would be able to move out of that contract, just not familiar with those contract terms. I agree, CC, Czinano, Gustafson, Hull, Mitchell would be a fantastic lineup.
Megan has completed year 1 of a 2-year contract for the Aces. Only way to get her would be through a trade. I'm not so sure Fever has anyone that Aces would be willing to accept in a trade.
I've been saying this all season
You may be one of the people I've heard say that a lot!
@theadriennerossshow yes, I posted that here , the pope show , black and white sports and several others
You are actually the first to respond
Thank you
And throughout the finals series Czinano dribbled, like, twice. TOTAL. She just has perfect positional control.
Stephanie White needs to see this. 👀👀👀👀👀
I agree..
I would love to see Cinano and Boston playing for Fever!
Nice play😊
Czinano's game seems to be a lot like Boston's. She would be nice to have, but I think they would be better off with Satou Sabally, who can open up the floor. On the other hand, the Fever could use more than one good forward/center type, and Lexie would be nice coming off the bench, backing up both the small forward and the guards, so hey.... what about both? Go Fever.
I ❤ these 1:30am notifications. Ok I’m listening & love Monica. As an Iowa alum, Monica would be a great asset but there’s honestly nothing better than college football ie Iowa Hawkeyes 🖤💛
I've been saying it get Martin from Vegas and Guff but now go get Monika. Talk about keeping talent happy. Jersey sales and a packed house for sure. Also umm they can play and win together
Good job 😊
Easy to cherry pick a few lucky shots. Perhaps, Satou for Smith and Monika for KLS. One of Sides worst crimes was bench sitting several players that should have been more involved to test their potential development. Looks like CC was imitating KM for that quick three. ;-)
Do you think any of the WNBA teams would be able to use the triangle + 2 defense?
All the Iowa girls to play with Caitlin.
