seems to end approximately half of its episodes with a cast member proposing to the protagonist, which is hilarious and amazing and more shows should do this.
Suletta Mercury is going to be engaged to half the cast by the end of this season and you know what? good for her! get it, girl.
first of all I know we gotta get a new coach in before anything else maybe. I'm brainstorming who that could be but in the meantime

Tsukino Usagi
position: shooting guard
skills: Usagi's not really one to get super physical in the paint, but she's really quick & nimble on her feet & I think she could could bait a defender into committing & then pull off a quick stepback pretty reliably. she'd be playing iso ball on the perimeter, which is in the vein of James Harden, but unlike Harden (career 36% from 3) she has elite sharpshooting skills from Moon Tiara Action (Steph Curry level easily) & won't rely as much on points from fouls (though I think she can sell contact as well as anyone). does she always have that dawg in her? maybe not, & relying on her down the stretch in tight games could be risky but I think the spacing she creates & the ability to knock down 3s is worth it

Artoria "Saber" Pendragon
position: point guard
skills: this one should be pretty self-explanatory but Artoria is a threat on many levels & could be an MVP contender. fast, strategic, & strong, she could excel equally as well as a facilitator making reads on the fly or driving to the basket & creating pressure at any range. need to see her in the pick & roll with Embiid. I think she would average 26/5/11 on 60% FG shooting while being a very unselfish floor general & keeping opposing defenses on the back foor the whole time.

Suletta Mercury
positon: 6th man, shooting guard/small forward
skills: there will be a lot of concerns about Suletta's anxiety & seeming lack of hustle off the court, but when she gets in I think she'll prove the haters wrong pretty quickly. she's not afraid to get physical when it gets down to it, & when someone needs her to step up she will not quit til her body can't move any more. she probably will need to build chemistry with her teammates to be considered for big minutes, but as an intuitive shot creator who has a great defensive focus, she'll be able to exploit mismatches on opposing benches, or even re-energize the starters she's playing with through unexpected hustle plays. I wouldn't expect a monster stat line, but I think she makes an impact when she's in & could easily find a starting role in a season or two if cap concerns make it impossible to keep the full roster
