Message: [QUOTE="wallman, post: 2442129, member: 1736"] Have you watched some of Dawns old teams, the intensity is nowhere near the same, SEC bullying aside and sure they had to be that way as they were not as talented on the offensive end. Wilson will be guarded by more mobile, taller, stronger players in the WNBA. Gray had that motor, go back and watch her with UNC. Davis don't think she has a motor which is why she sat a lot in the WNBA as the season went on. Wilson is not 6' 5" IMO even Bill doesn't think she is tall enough for the position she is playing in college BUT then again a lot of players have to change to continue to play at the next level. I look at the work ethic of most Uconn players which is what is needed for the WNBA, all other players usually fall short in that area and have to learn or they don't play. The WNBA introduced the defensive paint rule which has caused problems for less mobile BIGS as they cannot plant themselves in the key, this has had an affect on how the game is played. The volume shooter comment was not in reference to Wilson. All that being said, I don't think it has anything to do with whether she will go #1 or not. The #s don't really matter as it comes down to need of the team and whether the player can adjust. [/QUOTE]
