That cac got her game nice. I watched her in college. Nothing screamed WNBA star back then. Dates and marries a top NBA trainer and now she's a superstar. The skill gap between college and the pros is as big as anyone I've seen male or female from college who's played 3+ years at the collegiate level
Big facts, crazy looking back that she was drafted behind KLS

wildly reductive statement lmao you got it

i never thought i'd see retroactive agenda takes in a wnba thread :dead:
How you acting like Becky didn’t come to a team that already had been to the finals and had a great core. She has been lackluster this year and fails to adjust

excellent

lets talk about bill lambier then. because that's the actual argument of "the aces were just fine before becky"

we not even gonna talk about plum going from halfway out the league to suddenly 3rd in mvp votes. a championship team hitting a rough stretch mid season is whatever. and a wnba team 3 peating simply hasn't been a thing for a lot of reasons. but pulling a whatisthecoachevendoing with the aces of all teams is a absurd

No it’s not she’s not some untouchable being she has made bad decisions at times. And I’ve said multiple times I blame the GM the most. And bill built this team and he took them to a finals as well we can’t act like he was some bum and Becky picked up broken pieces

That draft was crazy looking back.

Jackie going #1 was obvious. Really easy pick. Similar to Paige this year.

I like Arike more than Asia @2. I understand why Asia was more liked by scouts, taller, better shooter but Arike skill level was insane. Asia skill level was solid. She just had better size, quickness, and shooting but Arike skill was on a pro NBA player level. Asia was never anywhere near as nice and it showed once she got to the W. Arike like her brother who was a pro RB just has a great athletic body and can handle contact. Asia struggle with contact in the W.

It was a lot closer than then now.

I've always said, the biggest gaps for W players is at center and PG. Because of the defense and the role. College is easy for bigs but the W is hard. Tierra was an insane college player but she is just mid in the W. She has moments but that's it.

KLS and Phee both were in the same range to me in college. I felt KLS was a tad better but Collier had more upside. Once Phee got with that white boy training genius, she took off further than any player I can ever recall. I've seen girls massively improve like Hamby and Laney but Phee went from potential starter in the W to ATG. That's an insane jump. The W is usually where it's clear. Cynthia Cooper and Phee are probably the most improved Basketball players I've ever seen from 4 year college to what they were in the W.
