Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 3857236, member: 175"] Bueckers is at her core a pass first player. She’d rather average 15 and 10 than average 25 and 5. Stiles was a scorer first, second, and third. A brilliant scoring savant who averaged 30 points and 1.9 assists as a senior. That’s not Paige. This 21 ppg might be the most points Bueckers averages for a season, since she‘ll be looking to let Fudd and others get their share of the pie. They are both outstanding in their own ways (Stiles was as good as anyone who ever played at getting buckets - or at least on a short list with Plum and Woodward). But they are on parallel tracks of basketball development where there’s not much to compare. If Paige abandoned the rest of her skill set to try to be a 30 ppg scorer, I think she could probably do it (or come close) ... but that‘s not her mindset, and I don’t think any of us want to see that.
