I am really impressed with how Moriah has transitioned into the WNBA. There are very few guards who have made that transition and be as successful. She is playing on a dreadful team and still maintaining a high assists level and a 2-1 A/TO, and she is shooting very well too. As long as she does well overseas and doesn't hit a sophomore slump in the W, I don't see how she could not be added to the National team pool - she is exactly the type of player they need.
I am also surprised that while everyone sees Stewart as the runaway ROY, no one seems to mention Moriah as the second best rookie - she has been really good from the first game. Some stats:
Minutes: Stewart #1 (35.1), Moriah #2 (29.4), #3 is Mitchell at 21.4 and no other rookie is above 20.
Points: Stewart #1 (18.2), Moriah #2 (12.5), #3 is Powers at 10.2 and no other is above 10
Field goal %: Stewart #4 (45.2), Moriah #6 (43.3 and #1 guard), Courtney Williams (40.9) is the only other guard above 40
3Pt %: Moriah #3 at 40.6 %, and the only one of the three taking more than 1 three point shot a game (2.9) No one else making more than 1.0 attempts is above 35.5% (Ariel Powers)
Rebounds: Stewart #1, Moriah #8 and the #2 guard behind Williams
Assists: Moriah #1 (4.1), Stewart #2 (3.6), #3 Mitchell at 1.5
A/TO: Moriah #1 (2.3), Stewart # 5 (1.6) - Belyakova at 2.1 is th only other 'rookie' above 2.0
Steals: Moriah #1 (1.5), Stewart #2 (1.2) - #3 Powers at 1.0 is the other rookie at or above 1.0
Agree with folks that have issues with Diggins, and Sims, and I would add Loyd to that list - I don't see any of the three being an effective USA PG, though all three might be a good two guard. The issue I have, as others have said above, is with decision making - USA guards typically have always looked to pass first, and have done so efficiently. Even DT for all the scoring she does, her first instinct is to pass.
People complain about Angel, but I think she has been a consummate USA bench player. The commentators on the seattle game said her answer to 'what had she learned on the NT' was that, when on the bench every player was concentrating on when they went in they were not going to make the same mistakes they were seeing during their time on the bench. She wanted to bring that back to Atlanta. It is an interesting idea.
