Message: [QUOTE="Lynx23, post: 3455554, member: 309"] Kia was genuinely surprised to be recruited by UCONN. I suspect she was comfortable deferring to her more talented and better known teammates. nearly all of whom have made the Wall. She was always a young, rising star on the Canadian National team, and she has established herself as a bona fide star for the NY Liberty and UC Capitals. Her shooting for the UC Captials has not been great, but she led the team into the playoffs while Griffin sat out almost the entire year with an injury, and Tolo spent a considerable amount of time out with injury as well. I imagine Kia was double and tripled-team much of the time as she became the main scoring threat while also leading the WNBL in minutes, which had to take a toll as well. The fact that she was the WNBL's MVP is probably less a matter of her leading the league in scoring than her all-around play and contribution to her team. [/QUOTE]
