During her career she has been cut by Seattle, Sky, Mercury, Fever, Storm, and back to the Sky. What about Toliver, Becky, and Coleman ?They were drafted because of their Offense not Defense. There are others. KML will excel in the WNBA.with the right team. Just a matter of time. Take a look at the NBA,Ray Allen, Glen Rice, Harden(No D at all),Kovar, Kerr ,Bird were offensive weapons ,no one harped about their D.It seems like there is some people that doubted Tiffany, Stokes, Chong and Faris potential to play in the WNBA. KML can shoot and eventually the right team will give her the same opportunity Allie got." Quigley isn't a great defender but she's head and shoulders better than KML right now. Quigley is MUCH quicker/faster than KML and moves much better off the ball. Quigley was a long shot when she was drafted, but she worked her tail off, got in tip top shape and now has become of the best in the league at running off screens to catch and shoot. Very similar to JJ Redick on the men's side where they both struggled early but have carved out a niche for themselves and both are peaking late in their career. There are very limited spots in the league for players...it's not about finding the right team for her as much as it's about getting in better shape and becoming a more rounded player rather than a 1 trick pony. There are great shooters coming into the league every year, and a good GM will take a promising rookie over KML because the rookie will be cheaper and hasn't had a chance to prove herself. KML has had 4 years to try and earn a rotation spot (while playing on some bad teams) but hasn't shown much improvement. [/QUOTE]
