Vtc – I believe you are the one that is missing the point. What is the Ct Sun’s need? Here is what you said on different posts:
The Sun did not get what they needed. They need a power forward. …The Sun needs a power forward to replace Jones
Here is what an ESPN analyst (or maybe more than 1) said:

What does it say on here? It says one CT Sun strength is scoring.
Jones is gone so their scoring takes a hit. But we got Tina back and still very young as is Monty. But what does it say are weaknesses? Two are “team rebounding” and “ability to force turnovers.” So can you please explain where it says on here that the Ct Sun team needs are “a wing scorer?” You didn’t say the team need was a “wing scorer.” The ESPN site didn’t say it. But guess who said it?

“The Sun need a wing shooter — or at least a wing scorer — worse than the rest of need a pancreas or a lung.”
Where is this coming from? “At least” a wing scorer? This statement is so weird no wonder so many have issues with him. The 2 guard isn't a wing? Does he understand what the definition of wing is?

More about “shooters” below.
He goes on to say:
“Which is why I broke a commandment. Thou Shalt Not Criticize A Husky.”
He is criticizing the pick. He is criticizing “taking best player available.” He isn’t only talking about need. He is criticizing that Faris doesn’t help. Basically if you don’t think Kelly can shoot at all- then we must think she is basically a 1 dimensional player. Isn’t that criticizing Kelly? And he focused on a need (a wing scorer) that you or I or ESPN or most of the fans don’t believe. Unless you are going to change your mind in order to want to back him up?
Though what I find comical is that two points of weakness on CT Sun – Kelly can help!! She will help with rebounding anytime the Sun don’t play with a small backcourt of any combo 2 of 3 between Tan, Kara and Monty with Kelly in the game. She’ll also help causing turnovers. Because she isn’t a definitive need at the pf doesn’t mean she isn’t filling a need. One of the CT Sun's worst positions is our sf and we are small at the sg. She won't help? So she will be filling a need. She just isn’t filling the number 1 need.
Another point you or him or both have made is if either of you believe she can’t fill a need – here is what you said about Faris for example:
“Faris has proved that she is a very good shooter. . .”
Well let’s take a look at last year’s Ct Sun wing players from the sf.
Hightower shot 23.7 percent and KG shot 22.7 percent.
You said Kelly is a very good shooter. So now are oyu saying Kelly can't help in this category? Miek doesn't seem to think so. So now I ask you vtc- who is right you or Mike? You say Faris is good shooter. Mike says she isn’t.
