best offensive player in the country is...

Chiney stunk it up when UCONN played Stanford. 18 points sure, but 6-22 (27%) in 36 minutes and she was totally contained by a slower Dolson. If Stef isn't 1st team AA over Chiney, there is no justice...

That's pretty much the same argument the cardinal fans are using at the moment.

Chiney is great. Would LOVE it if she came to UCONN. But not in the same league as KML offensively. Not even close. When Chiney gets a 3 point shot, then we can talk.

Anyway, LOVE KML. Love her game, her attitude, her cool as cucumber demeanor, her offense, her defense, and her all around game. She fills up the stat sheet much like Kelly, except with more scoring punch.

KML averaging close to 18 PPG, 2.3 APG, 6.4 RPG, shoots 89% from the FT line, over 50% from beyond the arc, and is just a great all around player. I'm so psyched we have her for 2 more years. She deserves to be a 1st team AA THIS year and can't imagine how great she's going to be the next 2 seasons.

apples and oranges. Can't compare perimeter players to post. Who cares if Chiney doesn't have 3 pt shoot. She doesn't need one a post player. Let's see KML post up and rebound like Chiney. No one is the country rebounds like Chiney. Well, KML doesn't need to because she make the 3 and is a perimeter player. And one game by Dolson doesn't make her AA over Chiney. Dolson is slower, but much bigger. Chiney is really a 4 vs. a 5. We have no help for Chiney in the paint.

I agree, KML is best perimeter player in the game and should be FIRST team AA.

Yeah, it's too bad some of our visitors don't have any manners.. So annoying.

The thread had opinions about who the best player was. I posted my opinion and gave kudos to KML for First team AA. I replied to some posts and questions directed to me vs. ignoring them. Have a good day.

Manners. Try it some time.

the women played head to head and Chiney out played her.

And where does Dolson fit into this group? She beat Chiney like a drum in Stanford this year. That being said, I would definitely have loved to have Chiney playing in Stoors these last four years.
 
Just got home from the USF game and I have one simple question to ask Geno. Why isn't Kiah Stokes on the court more? She played ten minutes and she played great. Breanna didn't contribute too much. She collected two fouls on bad calls and missed two easy baskets. She sure excites me with some of her plays and then sometimes she is so far off on simple shots it makes me wonder what is going on with her. Bria certainly isn't up to last year's standards and Caroline was in to keep the USF press honest. MoJeff and MoTuck played pretty well. Kelly was... well... Kelly. Stef and KML were out of this world today.

Kelly Faris is Superwoman in disguise!!​

I don't see how having and stating an opinion that happens to be different than the majority constitutes not having manners.

Cardfan was not derogatory or dismissive in his/her post (or generally). I think s/he had shown more courtesy than posters who immediately turn to personal insults simply because there is a difference of opinion.

Not to mention that card fan repeatedly agreed with the claim that Kaleena should be guest team AA.

My guess is they are still managing her court time because of the past stress reactions.

You are right, I forgot about that. But she looked good today for the ten minutes or so she played. Quick feet and hands and a nice shot blocker. Hope she can get some time next year.

It's difficult for many of us to think beyond the game in front of us. We forget about the hours the kids put in on the court in practice and in conditioning work, too. I would expect Rose Mary to be establishing goals and limits for the kids as the work back to full health.

You clearly hijacked this thread into a Griner/Chiney argument.

That is rude of a Stanford fan on a UConn board. You don't see that?

In spite of the bone you threw out for UConn fans with your comment about KML, you should consider your words next time.

Before me, Alexrgct and dtbbbtb said Griner is the best player in the country, I countered with my opinion of Chiney (and KML) then a discussion followed. I didn't see Nan's initial post because I was composing a reply to someone else and mine posted after hers. I then ended my last post with have a nice day. I later saw Speedo's comment, which I replied privately to him as if I saw him in a bar. Use your imagination.

Have a nice day again DD.

ROY doesn't prove anything?? Did you not pay attention to what Nneka did this past year? Even Candice Parker said Nneka was the most impressive player she's played with, and she has played with Griner. Nneka out played Griner in the NC game too. The guards won the game for BU, not Griner.

i love that kind of player. it is something sue bird would say.
I am not sure you can coach this kind of drive to succeed and it is what drew me to this team. Even though I live in upstate New York and have never seen a game live, I never miss one on tv.

Apology accepted.
 
I still disagree...with Cardfan...cardfan wanted to take this into the WNBA...do you think that Nneka is going to have a better WNBA career than Griner...Ain't gonna happen, no way, no how. If Griner, Nneka and Chiney were in the same draft I will bet my last dollar that Griner goes number one over both of them. The Stanford / Baylor game was an anomaly as Baylor lost Sims early in the game...they did not have time to make adjustments to playing without their star point guard, without the glue that makes the team go. I don't see where Chiney outplayed Griner in that game...Chiney was 8/14 for 18 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 blocks, Griner was 9/17 for 22 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assists and 1 block. If Stanford plays Baylor again and if Baylor has its full compliment of players Griner will own Chiney...count on it. Chiney is good but she isn't the best post player in college basketball this year...she isn't the 2nd best post player (that spot belongs to Dolson)...that it the bottom line.
 
The only other player besides KML that i have seen in 25 years of watching Uconn develop into a superstar from her freshman season to her sophomore season was Maya. Diana doesn't count. She was from another planet.
