Message: [QUOTE="BobbyJ, post: 5018868, member: 4250"] The main area of disagreement is that numbers and stats mean very little to me. The very best shot blockers get maybe 2-3 a game. Those mean nothing if your team has a 20 point deficit or lead but sound good. And what stat reflects consistent box outs that allow teammates to get rebounds? I value timely and winning plays not sometimes empty numbers. If a player piles up 22 ppg against a soft conference schedule and does nothing in the 3-4 toughest games of the year, those numbers mean nothing to me. If a kid piles up 5-6 assists in the first half with a 15-20 point lead, it looks great. Then her team coughs up the lead in the second and she can’t distribute down the stretch and they lose, what good are those numbers? I’ll wait and see if Auriemma considers her a decent backup or more this season. [/QUOTE]
