Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 5319700, member: 26"] I think the Sun got the better end of this (slightly) - both players have averaged about 6-7 PPG each season and both are "sophomores" in the W. But Sheldon's scoring has come on quite a bit more minutes played than Liya. Still, the Mystics had a logjam at Liya's position, Marshall hasn't been that impressive for the Sun so far, so there seems to be some good space for Liya. Also, she's about the same(ish) size and athleticism as Tina. I think she could learn a ton from Tina, hopefully including Tina's amazing hook shot - possibly the best ever in the WNBA. Totally unstoppable - even against the likes of Griner etc. I do think Liya has more upside than Jacy, but time will tell for both of them for sure... Love seeing 4 Huskies on the Sun roster, but not sure how that will help with fannies if the franchise moves to Boston, or even further... BTW Tuck's comments about Liya just WOW!!! "[I]Bringing Aaliyah to the Connecticut Sun is more than just a roster move; it's a statement about where we're headed as a franchise," Sun general manager Morgan Tuck said in a statement. "[B]Aaliyah is a transformational talent with the mindset and drive that aligns with our vision of building a championship culture. What truly sets her apart is the way she leads, connects, and competes[/B]. Aaliyah is the kind of person and player who can help redefine the future of this organization and we're ready to build that future together[/I]." [/QUOTE]
