Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5305523, member: 44"] Disagree. It's definitely faster and more physical. Every level you jump up in athletics, ups the baseline level of play. So, now you're playing against players where every starter, and everyone off their bench was probably one of the better if not the best players on their college teams. Everything you do has to be just a bit faster. Passes don't stay available as quickly. Your path to the basket closes faster. Defenders close out on "open" jump shots, faster. Players need to level up every aspect of their game playing in the pros. The fact that Paige has adapted as fast as she has really speaks to what an extraordinary athlete she is. For what it's worth, maybe five years ago, I might have somewhat agreed with the point you made, but play in the WNBA has been getting better every year. Say 10 years ago, I found it to be largely unwatchable. Now the games are pretty good, for the most part. [/QUOTE]
