Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2603587, member: 26"] Stewie and Lou are similar enough in size and skill that comparisons are going to be inevitably made, but they are different with strengths and weaknesses the other does not have... Stewie has a baby hook shot with both hands that Lou does not. Lou has a superior spin move under the basket for a reverse layup that I don't believe I've seen Stewie do. But in general, Stewie is better in close to the basket. Stewie has longer arms and uses them well on defense. Lou is better, IMHO, at moving her body and gets into passing lanes somewhat better in spite of her shorter reach, but Stewie is a far superior blocking threat. Stewie is more athletic and is taller and longer, but IMHO Lou has really improved her defense. Lou is better with the ball and has a better mid range and long distance game. But not by much. Stewie is a darn good shooter as well. IMHO Lou is also a better passer and I'll bet her A/TO ratio is better than Stewie's at this point in their careers. In a way it's like comparing Sue to Moriah, or Dee to Maya. Certainly some similarities, but also some big differences. Geno says Lou is the best all around player in the nation and I agree with him. But Stewie was NPOY for 3 seasons - and has more college accolades than probably any other player in history. Lou will never have 3 NPOY's. Doesn't mean Lou isn't great, or one of the best in the nation, it just means that Stewie was a freak when it came to WCBB. [/QUOTE]
