Message: [QUOTE="Camiam88, post: 3952259, member: 11274"] Agree that Carrington has a WNBA frame and is a physical player. I'm just not convinced yet that her game is WNBA-ready; she's scrappy, but IMHO isn't savvy enough with the ball or physical enough around the rim to go toe-to-toe with WNBA bigs in the paint. As for the wing spot, she's a streaky shooter at best and doesn't have the ball-handling skill of other big wings, even those currently in the college game (compare her, for example, to someone like Haley Jones, who is really exemplifying what the big wing position can be). I think she's versatile, but that is only helpful when it's on the right team; for that reason, I think she's lucky she ended up on the Sun, given their relatively open cap space, but if she had landed somewhere else, I think she'd only have a long shot to actually sign a contract. She's also lucky that she had a hot night in the very widely watched Baylor/UConn game, which I think tremendously raised her profile. TLDR; she's good, but lucky, and I'm still not convinced she's getting signed (or, if she does, sticking around for very long). [/QUOTE]
