Message: [QUOTE="visitingcock, post: 4300830, member: 6872"] No college player is generational. Some, like Boston, can become generational if , and not until, they have proven themselves in the pros - that is a league of the best of the best. Boston is filling the card but the card will be incomplete for at least six More years. 2020 - unanimous freshman of the year. Heavy contributor to a 32-1 team, number one ranked team (with two strong seniors. Accomplishments against top two strength of schedule. 2021- all American led team of underclassmen to Final Four, one point loss to champions. Again played against a top 2 SOS. Robbed by fate of an opportunity to compete fir a national championship. Academic player of the year if that matters. 2022 - transformed her body to another level. won every NPOY award. Final Four MOP award. National championship. Beat UConn (x2) Stanford, NC State, Louisville as part of another top 2 SOS. Academic All American again if that matters. There is little more she can do to fill her card other than improve her scoring and assists from the high post and 3 point line while winning another championship. We’ll see. The card is filled - at this point. She has the POTENTIAL to become recognized as a generational player. She also has the potential to ditch it all by never playing pro ball and pursuing success as a doctor or other highly paid professional. She could choose to play a fifth year while pursuing a graduate degree or proceed on academic rather than athletic scholarship. Heck, she could transfer to Stanford or Princeton for her fifth year. Rhodes scholarhip over first draft choice in the low-paying WNBA would be a no-brained for me. We don’t know and can’t know at this point whether she will attain “ generational status - but she has filled the card. Paige is not “generational” - yet -though she is filling her card too. Azzi ain’t even in the picture - yet(?) - despite her anointment by some - in high school. BTW, we’re Bird and Magic “generational” despite graduating the same year? [/QUOTE]
