Amihere can't consistently keep herself in the lineup at the college level. It's sort of ridiculous to say she is better at getting off a shot than an All American, particularly when she has so many attempts stripped, blocked or jammed into the bottom of the rim.
Also to add my 2 cents to SCspur above, even had Amihere NOT been injured in high school coming into South Carolina, she had senior Kiki Herbert-Harrigan and sophomore Victaria Saxton in front of her on the depth chart as far as players with very similar skillsets to hers, to compete against. Boston had no one ahead of her at her position.
WHen Boston's class was incoming freshmen who had not yet played a single solitary college game, the Gamecock fanbase spent time - like we've been doing this off-season - figuring out who would be the starting 5 for 2019-20. We knew about Amihere's ACL injuries and figured she would come slowly off the bench to start. But of all 5 of the incoming class, Boston was the clear starter off the bat, simply due to that reality that she was our only true 5-spot on the roster.
Finally, I responded to the query:
I may get heat for this, but her ceiling is higher than Boston. That does not mean she's the better player. Just could be if she reaches it
The premise here is NOT "right now", but THE FUTURE, as in POTENTIAL and POSSIBILITY. I was referring to how Amihere's skillset could develop in the future compared to Boston's skillset.
So really, I close my response with the most relevant point of all: that you didn't even interpret what I was talking about, and provided an EXCELLENT critique for a statement that I never made......
