Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3276538, member: 730"] In the first place Sabrina is without question the best guard coming into the season. As for pro, she is a 6'er and Dangerfield is 5'5". Their pro prospects are night and day. But this is still college. CD is the primary ball-handler bring the ball over halfcourt. She then becomes one of 5 offensive players who for the most part are all scoring options. Sabrina didn't bring the ball over halfcourt as much last season, leaving it to Cazorla et al. Many possessions she didn't even touch the ball for the 1st half of the possession. But she was the go-to player late in every possession and to her credit she took full advantage to drive to score or drive to dish. In that regard she was like L. Bird as he was in college, except she plays with better players. So comparing Dangerfield and Ionescu isn't a case of like vs like. In fact historically UConn players never lead the country in individual stats except fg%. The depth of talent spreads the stats around. But UConn is historically high up in team stats, at least once leading the country in pts/poss both offensively and defensively. But before anointing her as a future WNBA star look at those numbers she put up in the biggest game of her life last year against Baylor. 6-24. Baylor decided to let her shoot rather than let her assist and Sabrina had a tough time. Compare that to Stewart, who played her best ball in 4 FF's, against the best competition. For that alone I chuckle at your Larry Bird comparison. Larry was a winner. Fact. Ionescu may or may not be a winner. She failed in her 1st attempt. Is that harsh? Yeah, but if she is as good as you say it's time to do it on a big stage, away from that ugly floor. (It may look nice in person but on TV it looks like two layers of paint have partially peeled, revealing a third layer). [/QUOTE]
