John A.: WNBA believes Kelly is ready-made

“When I look at Kelly Faris, I think of how Sue Bird and Lindsay Whalen flourished in the league,” said Lin Dunn, coach of the champion Indiana Fever. “They are both tough and physical. There was some question about their foot speed when they came into the league, too. But Faris is much more athletic than you might think.”

Kelly is extremely athletic. She's chiseled, she can play for days, and she's quick as all get out. Unless racial stereotyping is your bag, I can't imagine anyone thinking she's not athletic, quite frankly.

And I don't remember Kelly ever having missed a game because of injury. (Of course my memory is suspect.)

Kelly is an amazing athlete. Anyone not realizing that should not be involved in talent evaluation.

And I don't remember Kelly ever having missed a game because of injury. (Of course my memory is suspect.)

Just a month ago she missed practice after injuring her foot in the triple overtime game against Notre Dame. Geno said she might not play the next game. Kelly said she didn't know what he was talking about. "Not playing is not really a thought," she said. "Not playing is not an option at all." And true to her warrior spirit, she played. She's amazing.
