She's back in the comfort of "her" brier patch", and it appears to agree with her. I'm very happy to hear that she is doing well, and enjoying the success she's having to date.

Good for her. She was a double-double machine her Fr. year at Georgetown back when the Big East was still the real Big East. Didn't work out that well at UConn but she has abilities to play the game of basketball.

Another win and double double (leads the nation) for Natalie.

Will Butler get drafted by the WNBA? Get a shot? Will they consider the UConn Butler to be the real Butler, or will they think that the George Mason Butler might be what they'll get in the WNBA? I recall that Marist College's Rachel Fitz really tore up her league and put up big numbers relative to the NCAA. But she never caught on in the pro-league.
Wonder about Butler....

Unfortunately, I do not see it. Her athleticism is questionable at that level and if we use Dolson as an athletically challenged cmeasuring stick, Steph could do a lot more than Natalie in terms of passing, hands, screening and outside shooting. I have not seen the GM games except for a few snippets but Natalie is doing the vast majority of her work inside feasting on mostly smaller players. I think she may have a good shot at international ball if she wants it.

There were two signicantly differences between Fitz and Butler:
1. Fitz was only 6-0 tall - but her game was mostly close to the basket.
2. While Fitz scored about as much as Butler is doing this year, she was a significantly worse rebounder. Also did not block as many shots as Butler

It's good to see Nat putting all that UConn training to good use....I for one am very happy for her.
She's getting minutes and her confidence has grown.
With Gabby and Z probably playing in front of her she may not have gotten all the minutes she is now getting.
But regardless of minutes or opportunity , I am happy for her. She appeared to be a good teammate and person.
GO NATALIE!!

This is a deep draft but I think there is an outside chance she goes in the later picks on account of being 6'5.
I have a hard time seeing her matched up against the level of skill and athleticism of WNBA centers. Ruth Hamblin from Oregon St had a much better college career but couldn't get much traction on a Dallas team very thin in the post. I think Nat could have a nice career overseas though.

I could agree more and I am, the perfect fit at the right time for Natalie. She will hopefully reap the rewards of her current successes--those seemed to allude her at Uconn. Leading her team is something I think Natalie enjoys doing, her experience at GT and UC make her a perfect leader for GM. Best of everything Natalie.

Comparing her experience at UConn and now at GM--do you really think she'd consider returning? She's the BIG Dog at GM, and rightfully and properly earned. I'm proud of that Intelligent young woman..

UConn would be a significantly better team if she were still on the roster, especially since Azura seems to be foul-prone. If Natalie had been around to provide 15-20 minutes against Notre Dame, I don't think they would ever have led by more than a point or two.
But Batouly will probably have a better chance to develop without Natalie on the roster to soak up her minutes.

In the WNBA, it often depends on finding the right situation. Nat could be a back-up center. I think she is more likely to succeed in Europe, but we'll see. She's big, has skills, and plays smart and hard.
