Message: [QUOTE="Zarathustra, post: 5343816, member: 11285"] This is tough call. Sara Okeke's Spain team plays in the EuroBasket DIVISON A. Spain won beating France !! in the Semis 71 -65 and Finland in the FINAL, 81 -72. Okeke was the MVP for the tournament averaging 20.2 minutes 13.8 ppg with shooting 61.7 % (field goal %) and with No three pointers. She averaged 7.2 rebounds 1.2 assists, 0.7 personal fouls (NICE... for the whole tournament!) with an efficiency rating of 16.2. Okeke has been reported to be 6'3" and also as being 6'4" but the FIBA webpage records her as being 193 cm which converts to 6' 3.98425197 inches = call it 6'4"!! In the Final game against Finland Sara Okeke was 11/13 from the field, scoring 23 points with 7 rebounds, three steals and 2 blocks. The FIBA WEB page reported: " (SHE) saved her best for last" with her " Intelligent, cool" performance. Olivia Vukosa's Croatian team came in third in the FIBA WOMEN's "B" Division (this past summer). Croatia is one of three teams that are on the edge of being "promoted" to the A division. So, by some stretch of reasoning, with Spain being #1 in Division A (16 teams) and Croatia being #3 in the Division B Croatia is # 19 in Europe, Spain #1. However, since Olivia V has joined the Croatian team they have been, year by year, climbing up in the FIBA ratings. In Brief, Olivia is by far the best statistical player for Croatia (best player? good team?); with Sara Okeke being the MVP on a VERY BALANCED (long bench) Spanish Team! Finally, Sara Okeke is (IMHO), clearly a CENTER, though her videos display her mobility, passing, and (in one sequence) her ball handling skills. Olivia Vukosa is a three-level scorer, a rebounding monster (against lesser opposition?) and is consistent a three-point threat (among other excellent skills). Tough Call choosing between them! If UCONN doesn't get one of these superb performers then I believe that Geno should be happy with the other! In Geno I trust! My Bet? THE "BIG O" comes to STORRS! But if she goes elsewhere Sara Okeke (pronounced: " O... K... K" like "Oh, K.K. Arnold"!!!) will be "UCONN ready" after a "developmental" freshman season with the HUSKIES! What's your opinion??
