Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 4148081, member: 199"] It really probably should be Samuelson's first 9 games to Ducharme's 8 - since they were both healthy and on the bench for all of the games. The fact Caroline Ducharme didn't get in one of them is immaterial. Samuelson happened to start the ninth as Stewart was out for that game. The team played #7, 23, 3, and 11 in those first 9 games in 2015, and have played 23, 1, 24, and 6 this year so fairly comparable. The assist to TO numbers and steals/blocks are interesting. But to some degree that is also a reflection of teammates and how games are played - easier to get assists with players shooting well and streaking on fast breaks than when they are struggling and the team is playing more half court. Again, Caroline has played one good game against one quality opponent as a freshman - would like a larger sample size before making any comparisons - we already know how Lou turned out as a freshman and as a 4 year college player - very well! Caroline has all of that in front of her. Calling her an 'upgrade' at this point suggests the poster expects her to be something more than a 3 time AA on a team that lost 2 games over her last 3 regular seasons and went 21-3 in post season play. She has already lost more regular season games than Lou lost in her career! :eek::cool: [/QUOTE]
