Next April? That is 2.5 months away.
Players focusing their games / auditioning for the pros (not just the NBA, but the vast international opportunities) has seriously eroded team basketball on the men’s side. Many times games look like playground runs with refs and a scoreboard, and for many teams, hero ball at the end of games rule. And I emphasize eroded, not destroyed. Hopefully, this does not happen to the women’s game.
Ball handling and perimeter defense.
Her lack of speed, ballhandling, and slow shot release will be serious obstacles as a pro. She's a tweener at 6-1 with very little vertical so I doubt she'll play inside.
I don’t think she is ready but the money is very enticing. I’m more concerned what the new agreement will mean for women’s college basketball. How many young women will jump ship and head for the WNBA After a few seasons. I’m sure Westbrook will move on if she has a decent junior year. the main reason I follow the women’s game is you can follow a recruit through her four years, unlike the men’s one and done.
And decision making, along better passing ability.
She has to become a more proficient ball handler ( even as a shooting guard ), and she has to show better decision-making. Her ball security and ( sometimes ) the timing and accuracy of her passes are questionable.
I have no idea if there is a thread out about Dangerfield. I think everyone assumes she will be a high draft pick, and can play well in the WNBA. Once she is on a team of professionals, she can concentrate on doing her thing as a point guard. At UCONN, particularly this season, she has far too much responsibility on her shoulders. In the pros, she can do what a point guard does. I think she will be a great asset.
Incorrect -- WNBA games are 40 minutes, even though it takes 6 fouls to foul out.
My bad, you are correct.
Because she's playing against college kids, of which 98% or so will never be pros. The question is about WNBA.gosh.................with all of those shortcomings I'm amazed she averaging almost twenty one points and nine rebounds a game...............
Megan's stats this year are quite comparable to Napheesa's stats in her senior year, and she was WNBA Rookie of the Year. Pheesa was also a "tweener" at 6-1, and similar predictions were made on the Boneyard about her WNBA future.Because she's playing against college kids, of which 98% or so will never be pros. The question is about WNBA.
I agree. Dangerfield's size could be an issue at the next level. Usually a small player like her needs blazing speed to overcome the size disadvantage. She is fairly fast for the college game but doesn't have blazing speed by WNBA standards. We shall see.
In a nutshell.
I don't evaluate players by stats. She's having a nice season. We'll see how she does if and when she gets to the pros.
50 thousand USD goes a long way in Poland..50 thousand zloty..not so much..its worth about a quarter...so I hope Anna will get paid in USD if she goes back early...
gosh.................with all of those shortcomings I'm amazed she averaging almost twenty one points and nine rebounds a game...............
