Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4527633, member: 6620"] FWIW, Boston shot 8-16 overall yesterday, including 1-3 from three-pt. land. If you look at 2-pt. range, she was 7-13. As you pointed out, she went 9-11 at the FT stripe, which is another important "must do" in the pro's: if you get fouled, you have to hit the FT's. I just got off the S. Carolina site and, for the year, Boston is shooting 59% overall and a tad under 80% from the FT line; all while averaging 10 rebounds per game (she had 11 against UConn). By contrast, my issue with Brink yesterday wasn't that she shot 5-11 (we know she can shoot), but only had 6 rebounds and 0 (zero) blocks. Stanford, as a whole, got outrebounded 34-24. Is this on the whole team (including coaches...where was Prechtel?)? Yup. But one expects a player like Brink to lead the charge. And that's why I point to Boston, helping the Gamecocks get out of a building with a win, in which the opponent was primed at the pump and executed very well. I think Boston did, too. Gosh knows she got no support from Cooke, who shot 2-13. Listen, I've got no bet on these boats. I'm just pointing out why I can see Indy taking Boston...and being very happy with the pick and results And while you might think her shooting is suspect now or in the future, she's still currently over well over 50 percent.
