Message: [QUOTE="Bronx23, post: 2560973, member: 8501"] I like many of your points. But being an old school guy stats only tell part of the picture. You are correct that Kia is the better defensive player of the two. Offensively I'm sorry to say there is no comparison. In the SC game, KLS scored in almost every way possible. She has changed her offensive game way more than most good to great shooters ever can. She also makes Kia much better in how she opens up the floor. It's not that Kia doesn't do some of that for Lou but Kia needs that and KLS doesn't. If and when you get a Kia type defender playing her, she gets pretty much shut down. It doesn't happen partially at least because that defender is put on Lou. Kia is having a spectacular season and again is a wonderful player, leader and person but some people here get carried with their love for her and for the team. KLS is on the cusp or just below the three best U Conn women bb players, and we know who they are. Because of her understanding of the game, her amazing grit even though she can look like a California beach girl, her selflessness and just plain wanting to improve, she is unbelievably talented and only going to get better. As stated earlier by someone name I can't recall now she needs to improve a few things like offensive rebounding and blocking shots. She also is still a work in progress defensively as she could move her feet better when guarding a quick, athletic player. We are very fortunate to have them both as well as some others, but again stats only tell a partial picture. Bronx23 [/QUOTE]
