"Best is subjective". "Shortest" path to the W for 18 year old player is to play 1 year professionally and forgo college-Eziyoda Magbegor is the latest example of that 19 YO playing with the Storm. Which coaching staff best prepares you for the W or Euro ball? I think there is enough evidence that UCONN is the right answer for both. I'm can't find any evidence to suggest that Oregon even belongs in that conversation as of right now for best preparing WNBA or Euro players. Kia Nurse is a WNBA All-Star starter in her second season in the W. I don't see Sabrina being on this same trajectory.
With 2.54 cm./inch---at 194 cms it appears she is 6 .36 ft tall or 6 ft4.32 inches. the quesion is: Is this with flats or heels??
I will say in watching the University Games, Magbegor looked like she had a LOT of work to do. She definitely didn’t blow me away, and it wasn’t like Mississippi State’s big were all stars. She would have benefited from a few years of college ball.
You are among the minority that speaks the truth of Geno's preseason announcements over the years. He tends to over hype some incoming mostly to MY disappointment. But that limb has me hanging by threads on CW and now Ania. With me it is not expectation but wishes/desires but with CW it was what I thought I saw. I'm not one iota disappointed. Her personality alone will keep me satisified. I hope I may say the same about Westbrook, Evelyn, Touly (this year), Irwin (this year), Molly (this year) and Ania. i KNOw my announcements about Irwin and Bent are more in tune with freshman preseason with Geno, but I'd rather hope for the best and accept the rest with 2 so long with Geno.
Ionescu, I won't deny she is an exceptionlly good College player, with limitation. Kia, it depends on what you call a very very good College player. True she played in the shadow of some truly greats but from Freshman year forward she proved she was more than your average excellent College player. As a pro she is proving she is among the best in the land. We'll see in 3 years if Ionescu lives up to Kia. My issue with Ionescu is: she gets too selfish during crunch times when MAYBE a player or 2 could have seriously helped win a game or 3 dozen. DT she isn't. Stewie she isn't--but very good she is.
Ya got me. I'm stumped.

I didn't realize Azura was European.
WCBB is a voluntary endeavor as is attending college. Some kids will choose to leave ASAP. WCBB, UCONN WBB, and life in general will go on.
