Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3260018, member: 2117"] Never understood the hype for Durr over Arike. Arike is a more physical player, better at getting her own shot and is a better passer than Durr. Durr is very smooth and has a great shot but playsmore passively and isnt as dynamic as Arike IMO. If Durr were on the Wings they'd be dead last IMO. Durr could potentially excel as option 2, 3 or 4 but I dont see her as a star with her skill set. She has better height but isnt a great creator or distributor. Dallas needed a star without Diggins/Cambage and Arike has stepped up to the plate and is playing lights out in a high pressure role despite a rocky start. Agler needed a playmaker and he got the best one in the draft. If Arike was drafted by the Liberty, her numbers would be significantly lower since they already have a "mad gunner" in Tina Charles who is consistently the highest volume shooter in the league. For better or worse, the team for years has been built around Tina taking 18-20 shots per game, so Ogunbowale would likely be a support player rather than a go to player. Probably wouldnt be doing nearly as well as she is in Dallas if she were playing for Katie Smith. Dallas is the only team in the league where Arike plays PG and is expected to carry the scoring load too. She wont be playing PG next year with Diggins back. [/QUOTE]
