That move would make me dizzy … or sprain my ankles … or both.

The best shooting percentages for teams in the pros are not as good as the best ones in college. In college the best percentages are around 50%. Last year the Fever topped the league at over 45%; this year the Lynx are currently tops at over 46%, while the Fever are maintaining their 45%+...

While I agree with this, I feel that if coaches simplified her offensive role they could also maintain her endurance that way, in addition to her making better decisions.

Glad you mentioned Penecheiro. I just looked up a highlight assist video for her that looks much like Clark’s. Same for Bird, Vandersloot and Bueckers. My personal favorite is a no look, through the legs bounce pass from Bird to a charging Lauren Jackson behind her for the lay up. That was a...

? Just the opposite. At one time Taurasi was tenth in career blocks in the WNBA. There are highlights of her blocks. In a college game against Seton Hall a dissatisfied Auriemma challenged Taurasi to get ten rebounds. She got eleven. This is not to say Taurasi was a great defender, I don’t...

Good catch on this, and it makes me wonder. The bottom line for an WNBA player is to survive in the league. Perhaps Carrington thinks this warrants being a greater offensive presence? Yet players like Stokes survive by precisely specializing on defense. Carrington has proven she could offer...

In her last 5 games Bueckers was 4/18, including 2/3 in the last one before her break. It still proves the point, though 2/17 is worse than Plum’s, 4/18 better.

I just heard stocks (steals and blocks) in the context of 5 Huskies being in the top ten: Stevens, Bueckers, Williams, Stewart and Collier.

From my point of view, I see @HuskyNan @oldude and @ucbart as mostly in agreement. The Wings have an offense needing more ball movement, player movement and screens. It is up to the coach to change that. Ironically, I feel much the same about the Fever, except that they are faster paced...

Over the course of her first year in the WNBA, my impression of Clark grew more favorably. Initially, I thought she was more suited to be an off guard, now I think she can be an excellent point guard … if she cuts down on turnovers. The obstacle to this lies not so much with her as with her...

? Not much of a boost. I refer you to the WNBA stats site. Stats are not everything, but Bueckers does comparatively well with the other guards in the league, particularly her demonstration as a two way player.

What I do not know are the criteria behind the 3-1 records. The Liberty has a 6-1 eastern conference record, so what is the subset of that with which they are working?

I admit to not knowing anything about the Cup’s process. I guess I could look it up, but lazily I’ll turn to you. What is the criteria that seemingly gives the Liberty the most difficult path of the three? You refer to conference standings, but the Liberty has at least a two game lead on the...

I do not consider myself an adequate judge of good game time coaches. I generally assume that coaches at the top have this quality on their way their, even though after they arrive they now are winning with superior talent. However, I can provide one notable example of good game coaching by...

At the beginning of last season I thought Clark would have been best used as an off guard. As the season went on I thought she could have been used as either, but she faces a problem of the tail wagging the dog. She is in demand by fans to do everything and the coach went along with that...
