It sells her short to say she's an incredible athlete.

She's an incredible basketball player who happens to have Olympic-level athleticism.

It does not sell her short. Develop a better understanding and appreciation of that phrase as she hopped right over the SC player at the top of the key. Coates, who is a terrific basketball player in not an incredible athlete. The phrase does do Gabby justice!
 
I can't help but think that Gabby's moves often resemble ballet...it would be interesting to string them together in a Gabby only highlight video, maybe even set to music. (No I don't think I could DO it...) ;)

Not if she hasn't earned it.

Agree. Suspect that's what she's working on right now. The one thing it's so blatantly obvious we're lacking is height. Azura has it, and she has AA/POY basketball talent and skills, so all she has to do is work as hard as everyone else.

I'm not sure what point you think you're trying to make here. I'm simply saying "Gabby is a hell of a lot more than just an elite athlete".

Stanley Robinson on the men's side was an elite athlete. Gabby is that, plus exceptional basketball IQ and a desire and ability to improve skill-wise.

If she adds an outside shot next year, she will be the total package. Potential #1 WNBA draft pick.

Gabby will be a successful pro because she's always worth the price of admission...hope the Dream get a crack at her...

I like that!
I hope we can end the discussion of "she won't be able play inside at the next level..."
Really? Turner, Coates, Wilson and whoever else you want to throw in there.
Her potential opponents in the WNBA.
I would say she MORE than held her own.

Last night was the first women's game I've ever attended. I'm a fan of the team, and watch a good majority of their games. Seeing Gabby's athleticism in person absolutely blew me away. Television does not do her justice.

A lot of the TV crews working the games this year have said the same thing. I will have to make a trip next year to see a game in person! Haven't seen them in a few years, live.

As far as I know she is.

I'm 70, been watching Geno's teams since '95, so have seen some awesome players, but all I can say is I'm so glad I've lived long enough to see Gabby Williams play. TitleTown nailed it, she did it all tonight and more.

Augusta TC- I'm assuming you live in Augusta GA? We're part time Aiken So Carolinians- right next door!

I met some SC UConn fans last year in Columbia when I splurged and paid ridiculous $ to see my first (and likely only!) UConn game in person. Figured that living in Augusta that was likely to be the only chance I'd get to see that team. Best moment was near the end of the game when Mo turned to Geno who was coming unglued over a ref's call and looked at him with that super grin of hers and motioned with her hands, essentially saying "calm down, we got this coach".
 
Rewinding down memory lane in the 2014-15 season against UCLA - got to see what might have been the first Geno sideline grin over a ridiculous Gabby point blank miss, rebound and jump a little closer to the rim put back. The camera panned only see it for a second but it was a grin, and a big one at that.

That must have been awesome and worth every penny!
