Message: [QUOTE="RSHERMVIKES, post: 2167227, member: 2251"] DefenseBB- - - I agree with you a 150%! People are gearing their arguments toward Azura Stevens based on her Duke years! She has gone so far past that stage of her career, based on comments from UCONN players, coaches and media UCONN has the POY for 2018 sitting on their bench not eligible to play! Even Azura has commented that she learned how to succeed in WCBB, Duke style and has learned this past season what it takes to play up at the UCONN skill level! She will play a style similar to Breanna Stewart, rotating from inside to outside and outside to inside, willing to take the 3 or 15' to 18' shot, then play inside as a 6'6" player. She will be 100% more aggressive with Geno and Staff pushing her every second of every game/practice! IMO, and I know I'll be knocked for this, but I'm not impressed with Miss Wilson's play! [B][mod edit; player trashing][/B] And if you think she takes contact at SoCar in WCBB, buckle your chinstrap, in the WNBA they will do EVERYTHING short of punch her in the face! All new players in the league, no matter how talented, have commented that the one thing they weren't prepared for is the physicality allowed! And the incompetent WNBA refs who wouldn't know a punch or illegal screen if it came up and slapped them! This is like the WIZARD OF OZ, "don't look at the man behind the curtain!" What appears to be reality may not turn out to be reality! [/QUOTE]
