Message: [QUOTE="psconn, post: 3124100, member: 293"] I don't agree with 'ocoan' either in that I really don't see that there was a better choice. Different? Yes. Significantly better? No. I'm hoping he/she can explain more fully. I have two disagreements with what you said... JJ not capable of mixing it up inside? She set the WNBA rebounding record in 2017. That doesn't happen if you can't compete inside. Perhaps significantly, that was the the year Chiney was out and there was more paint real estate available to work in. Apart from a few tentative mid-range attempts last year, Chiney operates almost exclusively within a couple feet of the restricted area arc. Unlike Morgan, she has no proven mid-range or further game. I heard she was working on it before last season, but it never showed on the court. Of the 7 Sun posts, 5 limit themselves to the lower half of the paint. When Morgan or JJ are in with Chiney and AT, they move outside because that's what will be available, and that's what will balance the floor. That is the only quibble I have with the Anigwe selection. She may have been the best selection available, but she's a Chiney clone. A monster inside but no proven outside game. With 5 players entering the 4th year of their contracts, maybe a trade is coming as you say, but as limited as she is, AT is the engine that drives this offense. No one in the league pushes the pace better and she maintains excellent assist and rebounding numbers. Curt will think long and hard before he would consider letting her go. [/QUOTE]
