Message: [QUOTE="cabbie191, post: 2243184, member: 417"] Some thoughts about DD and whether a WNBA manager would be sane to draft her: Clearly a skilled player who unfortunately played for two programs that weren't up to snuff to mold that talent to be the best it could be. And at UNC, I think that suited her fine. Sylvia was going to let her play her style and she stated that was a big draw for going to UNCheat. When watching her play, I was mainly troubled about how she presented herself attitude-wise. The occasional pouting is a huge red flag for me. Compare this with Natalie Butler who never came close to having the career at UConn that I am sure she dreamed of. Injury setting back her return after the required sitting for a year, and then never having the production that everyone hoped she would have, must have been so very disappointing to her. But despite this, did we ever see anything but a big smile on her face? On the other hand, people "grow up" at different stages in their lives; some never, some very early on, others in between. I don't think I really became what I would call a good functioning adult until I was in my late 20's. So my bottom line is I think there is the potential for the maturity side of Diamond to catch up with her pysicial skills. If I were a manager, not sure how I would choose. [/QUOTE]
