For her part, Plum had an extremely impressive individual showing, scoring 27 points on 10-for-18 shooting, including 4-for-8 from the three-point line.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that for the Sparks to succeed, Plum is going to need some help, especially in the front court, considering she\u2019s an undersized guard. Forward\/ Center Cam Brink figures to be the perfect fit for Los Angeles and completion to Plum, but shockingly, Brink struggled immensely.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>In just 12 minutes of action, Brink didn\u2019t score a single point, committed three turnovers, and added three fouls.<\/p>\n<p>After the game, Sparks head coach Lynee Roberts was incredibly blunt about why Brink isn\u2019t playing more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, we need Cam to produce. We need Cam to bring that defensive energy,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cWe have so much confidence and belief in her. She\u2019s got to get out on the floor with some confidence and do what she\u2019s capable of doing. But we\u2019re going to need her.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"consent\"\/>\n<p>\u201cPart of the beginning of Season 2 is figuring out rotations and chemistry and all the things,\u201d Roberts added. \u201cWe looked like we just didn\u2019t have a lot of floor chemistry out there. Vegas did. They\u2019ve also played together for years, right? And it\u2019s not an excuse, but it\u2019s just a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Roberts knows Los Angeles will need Brink moving forward, and is counting on her to rise to meet the expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we\u2019re going to need Cam. She\u2019s going to be a big part of our success, have every bit of belief in her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/thecomeback.com\/wnba\/sparks-lynee-roberts-needs-cam-brink-to-produce.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sparks coach blunt on why Cam Brink is being benched;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Sparks coach blunt on why Cam Brink is being benched&quot;}\" class=\"link\">Sparks coach blunt on why Cam Brink is being benched<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/thecomeback.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Comeback: Today\u2019s Top Sports Stories &amp; Reactions;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;The Comeback&quot;}\" class=\"link\">The Comeback: Today\u2019s Top Sports Stories &amp; Reactions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/sparks-coach-blunt-why-cam-144120374.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Sparks\u2019 season opener went about as poorly as possible, as Sparks guard Kelsey Plum and company lost 105-78 to the team that she began her career with, the Las Vegas Aces.
