Hmm....best pure shooter? Taurasi is a career .434 from the floor and .368 from 3 pt. range. Not sure if pure shooter means what the people who were polled think it means.

Missed one. Trifecta.

Which player would you want taking a shot with the game on the line?
1. Maya Moore = 58%
2. Diana Taurasi = 33%
3. Sue Bird = 8%
All three have proven they can hit big shots; Maya has done it more recently than Sue and Dee.

And some folks here wondered how Maya would do in close games. Snicker! Snicker! :D

I believe there are 17 Huskies on WNBA rosters; that's about 12% of the league.

Sorry, I have to disagree with this one:

Which player do you think has the greatest hunger to win a championship in 2018?
T-1. Skylar Diggins-Smith, Angel McCoughtry, Diana Taurasi = 17%
T-4. Sue Bird, Tina Charles, Elena Delle Donne, Sylvia Fowles, Maya Moore, Candace Parker = 8%

Maya won last year and just won the Euroleague championship. But she's insatiable. Some may want to win, but Maya does what is needed to turn it into reality.
