Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 5305807, member: 7748"] True for almost every team in every sport. There's a reason players start and players come off the bench Burke had been an outstanding member of the roster and you're absolutely right she's not a starter. She's an excellent bench player and she's done a more than adequate job coming off the bench. I'm trying to think of another team that losses a starter and would have a bench player available to come off the bench and shoot 50% from the field, 49% from theeland and provide more than adequate defensively. I think it's important to differentiate between the player and the situation and the performance the over time I'm wondering if you have any thoughts about what bench player would have performed at a higher level than Burke in a similar situation. Disaster would be an appropriate descriptor for the Chicago Sky in all phases of the game. Disaster would be an apt and appropriate description for the Connecticut Sun in all phases of the game. Disaster would be an apt description for the Dallas defense. I'm not sure disaster is an appropriate descriptor in a discussion of the New York Liberty or Kennedy Burke. There are at least 7 WNBA teams that would exchange places with the New York Liberty right now. And I can think of 7 teams that would take Kennedy Burke in a New York minute [/QUOTE]
