Megan Walker

[scubadog]

I just don't see MW as 6'1. I think she's a solid 5'11. She's supposed to be as tall as Napheesa, and Napheesa looks a lot longer and taller than her.

MW looked more like 6'2 or slightly taller in recent team photo I saw recently. I remember seeing and thinking she looked to be right between Phees and KLS as far as height. I just can't remember where I saw the photo within the last week.

Megan shot it well against Cincinnati but for this level of play, she is only an average shooter. I think she will develop into a decent defender and an excellent rebounder, and a good scorer but a streaky shooter.

FYP

If she were a better defender, she would be playing a lot more. Not only does she struggle guarding a chair, but she too often fouls the chair.

I think it is a confidence thing. Fear of making a mistake. I'll tell you she looked terrific on that drive to the basket, didn't she?

I agree with these. I think she'll be especially good in the open floor on breaks with her athleticism as she progresses through the program.

The Starting 5 (Core 4 and Dangerfield) have the switching defense pretty down pat. Stevens and Walker still get lost once in awhile. I think they'll get there eventually though.

I was generally pleased with her defense as well. Not to mention Z's defense. Meg still has a problem with touch fouls while she's guarding off the dribble. A common problem with freshmen. That will improve.

Yeah, she's an inconsistent shooter. Something I noted while watching her in HS and in the HS all star games. This too will improve. Just ask Kia about that. Her size at the 2 next year will make her such a handful though. In fact UConn's size on the perimeter will be a handful for whoever they face.

Impossible to prove except for what I've seen over the years and that is the refs will call a foul on a freshman that they wouldn't on an upperclassman.

Mo vs. Megan Freshman years
Mo 182 points, Megan 162
Mo FG Pct .424 Megan .440
Mo 3PTS Pct. .266 Megan .323

Sure glad no one gave up on Mo........

Wow, I had no idea how close these stats would be. How about total minutes played?

Yea, it seems that way doesn't it.

Has the light come on for her? She's playing much better at time when will need her to be productive. I'm happy for her, and for us.

I see that light flickering. She seems to have a high resistance connection. Those tend to either fuse and complete, or burn open. But I am happy to watch when the light is on. I am sure she has a bright future , and will get over her current issues. She is a natural and everyone in the BY has high hopes for her.

Agreed. Several of the hand check calls on MW were pretty “ticky-tack,” although the foul call when she ran right over the Cincy player trying to set a screen was certainly a foul.

 

[Bama fan]

game-to-game performance and assessment is just noise. My prediction remains: 2020-21 NPOY.

What is the vig , Bags?

 

[Bama fan]

That's an AWESOME response-do you happen to have the minutes played per chance, that would be interesting.

Give them an inch...

I think Meg is 6'0" and not 6'1". She's taller than Bria Hartley ... or at least Bria Hartley's son.

I think that also goes for substitutes in general.

Somehow, that never gets old!

Watt are you talking about, Ohm my God I couldn't disagree more. Your logic is almost circuitous. Allow me to illuminate you on this subject, because you have really amped it up here. Only your last sentence is over arcingly correct.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Meg's stats are comparable to not only Moriah as a freshman, but also Tuck, Gabby, and Pheesa as freshmen.

It seems that Meg play better when someone is injured. I think she tends to defer to the upperclassmen in terms of shooting. When someone is out, Megan moves into the #6 slot and feels a greater sense of urgency. These are 4 of her best games:

UCLA (Lou out)

Notre Dame (Lou and Gabby out)

Temple (Lou out)

Cincy (Gabby out)

She's still adjusting to the information overload at UConn and the higher level physical demands, but she's getting there. I look for a nice sophomore leap.

It appears that the Dogged 1 has boned up on his Electrical Circuits 101. Your knowledge appears to be approaching infinity!

I don't know I like when he posts about current events. I got a charge out of it. I'm not sure why it phased you.

I have a high level of resistance to this entire line of discussion.

 

[Charliebball]

I remember saying in an earlier thread that if Walker was given a consistent 25 minutes per game she'd average 12-15 points and 8-10 rebounds per game................I fully expect to see those numbers at a minimum next season............

Are you suggesting that we phase it out? You do not have the capacitance keep the connection? I do not understand Y there has been such a Delta in your appreciation. It seems there is a disconnect that may be interrupting the flow of things.

I am shocked by this thread.

Try insulating yourself from the arc it has taken. There are several sites on line where you can purchase FRC gear. Go with the higher rated stuff or you are bound to get static from the BY best boy crew. BTW, UNCLE!
