Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 2242066, member: 6819"] I haven't said much until now because none of this hasn't been expected. To me DD is what she is and there is a large enough sample size to make that assessment. I must sound like a broken record, but here comes my repeat. I personally feel that she'll be a franchise/GM/coach destroyer. Many will be beguiled by her talent and her athletic ability, but she'll continue to disappoint at the next level. She'll continue to be a less than average shooter from outside and inside the arc because I think she doesn't jump a consistent height on her shots. Occasionally she over jumps, occasionally she under jumps, making her a streaky shooter. When she's hot she'll look like a world beater. When she's not she'll look marginal. This is what she is. It's impossible to build a team around this kind of player, especially at the pro level where she'll encounter a lot of athletes at her level. She'll have a problem working within a share the ball offense since she is an average passer and turnover prone. Come playoff time when the pace will increase so will her TO's. She'll again miss more clutch shots than make. This kind of stuff divides locker rooms. Any GM/coach that hitches their wagon to her will soon get their walking papers. DD will ultimately move from team to team as another coach becomes enamored by her "potential", but old habits are hard to break. Ultimately I think she'll find a home overseas where her athletic ability will enchant Euro clubs and put butts in seats. What I'd like is for her to prove me wrong and suddenly develop consistency. I doubt it. [/QUOTE]
