Message: [QUOTE="1-of-the-6, post: 2066312, member: 7922"] Have you actually seen her play this season? She's not the slightly pudgy player that she used to be. Plum is much improved in every area. More athletic: quicker, stronger, more stamina. She's a better outside shooter, an amazing finisher, stronger with the ball. She rebounds and defends better. Smarter, even. She's a volume shooter with high efficiency, and you don't run across players like that every day, especially at the guard position. Plum plays nearly 40 minutes a game, only coming out in the very rare instances that she's in foul trouble or at the very end of blowouts. Because the ball is in her hands so much and she draws so much attention, Plum expends more energy in a game than any player that I've seen, ever. And she no longer seems to get tired as she did in previous seasons. She plays in the toughest women's basketball conference in the country. Averaged 33 in league games, this despite getting not much help from anyone on her team except the remarkable Chantel Osahor. She's a much better player than Jackie Stiles ever was. If she's not in the top tier with the all-time greats, she's really close. She could certainly have been a good player at UCONN. She'll do very well in the WNBA, probably playing a bit more off the ball, which she's very capable of doing. Look for her to average 15 or so, with her assist number around five a game. [/QUOTE]
