There was a lot of smoke blown in our direction last WNBA season about Kelsey Plum's performance.  Now, the truth:

"When Plum herself is asked to reflect on her rookie season, which began with her basking in the adulation of being [URL='https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-husky-basketball/uws-kelsey-plum-selected-no-1-overall-by-san-antonio-stars-in-the-2017-wnba-draft/']the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA[/URL], she doesn’t want to even go there."
                                                          ************************
"Allowing herself a moment of reflection before Thursday’s game, Plum said the speed, physicality and intensity of the WNBA game was eye-opening."

“I would equate playing 10 minutes here to a 40-minute college game,’’ Plum said “I think I’ve grown mentally. You get a lot thicker skin. I went from a program that it was all about me, to here, where I’m a role player. So I just have to figure out my role.”

I like Kelsey, but I don't think her physique or game will ever have her "big" in the WNBA and yet she was the finals MVP in Europe, so what do I know.
