Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 5136800, member: 1673"] You may be misreading some of the stats. Brady turns the ball over less and provides way more assists, which of course also means the A/T ratio is much better. While El-Affy scores more their shooting percentages are close, much closer than their disparity in facilitating others. This is significant in that Strong shoots better than either Brady or El-Affy, and she has a better chance of being fed the ball with Brady in the line up than El-Affy. Before the season started I thought Brady and El-Affy would be the posts and Strong would come off the bench at the beginning like M. Moore and Taurasi did. I thought Strong would be the best of the three, but Auriemma has shown a preference for starters that are competent and experienced when available, even if they are not the best starting five individually. Right now Brady is the only post that fits that bill. I thought El-Affy would start for much the same reason as you I suspect, but I was wrong. Strong plays like an upperclassmen. It could be that El-Affy eventually gets more minutes, but I doubt she will start this year. She does have to facilitate better and make less mistakes to surpass Brady in minutes, because right now Brady has a significant edge with that. [/QUOTE]
