Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 2560565, member: 8636"] I love comparisons. I do not see the Big O comparison though. Elgin better. (He was an acrobat. IMO Gabby more of a "lunch pail guy". Firstly, what I do is add 6 inches to the women in order to compare. So, for example, Pheesa 6'7" (could she develop into a shorter Kevin McHale), Lou 6'10" (no wonder she's a matchup nightmare, Kia 6'7" (how about a Klay Thompson comparison) and Gabby 6'5". Here's mine for Gabby- Ben Simmons or even Magic Johnson. Remember she has a background of being a primary ball-handler. All three of them are slashers to the hoop, great passers, and rebounders. (Gabby-better defender?) Magic revolutionized the defensive board, no outlet, just take it down the middle, numbers, score. "Showtime". Bad memories for a Celtic Fan like me. She can develop her J, just like Magic did and I'm sure Ben will do. BTW IMO the form on her J is good- elbow in, position of her hands. Could use her legs more and needs to stay with the shot longer, kind of "short arms it". Watch Steph Curry's follow through. WNBA: Put her in the backcourt, defend the opponents best non-center, dribble off rebound, watch her slash to the basket. Better not back off her, cause she's gunna learn to hit that shot! (if it happens this year- #12- no jinx, I just knocked on wood) Go Huskies! Gabby my favorite player! [/QUOTE]
