Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4543717, member: 6620"] Matthew: That's a pretty [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]broad statement, if you think about it in relation to these three players. [/COLOR] [LIST] [*][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Katelyn Flaherty was the #68-rated player by Hoopgurlz in 2014. She was a 5'7" point guard who only played a portion of her senior year in New Jersey. By the time she graduated, she averaged 19.8 ppg, then the highest average for any Michigan player, male or female. She helped lead Michigan to the WNIT title in 2017 and was named MVP for her efforts. I might add her position coach was Megan Duffy, who left to take the head coaching job at Miami (of Ohio). [/COLOR] [*][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Naz Hillmon was the 59th rated prospect coming out of high school by Hoopgurlz. She was an undersized 6'2" front-court player who frequented the paint. Yes, she has not developed a reliable mid-range jump shot but she picked up a lot of footwork and fakes in and around the basket to not just succeed at the NCAA level, but surprisingly do better than expected in the WNBA. Once again, she's 6'2". Listen, she's got her own game that's working. Bri Turner never developed an outside jumper and she just got invited to the U.S.A. National Team Camp. Sometimes, what you see is what you're gonna get. Work on the "get" parts.[/COLOR] [*][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Emily Kiser. This one is still happening. A barely used player suddenly clicks and becomes a contributor. Not an unknown tale for a big, but it takes work on all fronts.[/COLOR] [*][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]As per Amy Dilk, you see spuds, I see potatoes. Was she 'Liv Miles? Heck now, she wasn't even Lindsay Allen. But guess what, she could set up the offense, much in the way Ali Patberg did her first few years before she was injured. Maybe she didn't develop into an WNBA-ready product, but she was an effective NCAA player until then. [/COLOR] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
