LAS VEGAS — Juste Jocyte still hasn’t found her spot in the Valkyries rotation, but there was a little clarity about where she is headed on Sunday.

Jocyte played the final six minutes of Sunday’s blowout loss to the Las Vegas Aces and shot 1-for-4 with a rebound and an assist. But perhaps more importantly, she played the point guard position in a game for the first time.

“I thought she was really composed,” coach Natalie Nakase said after the game. “I thought she was able to pick apart the pick-and-rolls when she was in there. We're really looking for the physicality and the rebounding piece, which I think she's improved on. We've been focusing on that a lot in the stay-ready games, so having this opportunity to get in there to fight and to battle against really great players, I thought that was a positive.”
