Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3538654, member: 7511"] Abysmal in CAPS is pretty strong wording. But to get a true picture, we really have to look at Carrington’s 4 seasons at Stanford individually. As a freshman, Carrington played mop-up minutes only, taking 21-3’s all season while making 5. As a sophomore, Carrington became a primary reserve for the Cardinal. She did start 7 games. Carrington took over 100-3’s and shot 28%, which is pretty average. As a junior, Carrington started all 36 games for the Cardinal, improving her 3-pt shooting to 33% on 37/112 shots, while upping her rebounding totals to 7.5 per game. As a senior, Carrington played in only 5 games, took 7-3’s, making 2. It certainly would have been interesting to see what Carrington might have done had she been healthy for her entire senior season. I would not call Carrington’s shooting “abysmal.” Like a lot of kids who get to college, they need to improve their shooting mechanics as well as learning to release their shot quicker with a defender’s hand in their face. It takes time. Think Megan Walker, who really improved her 3-pt shooting each and every year with UConn, or Mo who couldn’t throw the ball in the ocean when she got to UConn, but became a deadly 3-pt shooter by her senior season.
