Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 4408793, member: 15"] Hmmm. I'm afraid she's going to be in for a rude awakening when she gets to college and perhaps someday to the WNBA. For her sake I hope there aren't college coaches telling her they envision her playing point guard or shooting guard. In my opinion, she doesn't handle the ball or shoot well enough to play those positions in college, at least not early in her college career. From what I've seen, she's most effective scoring in the lane. She'll need to work hard to develop a perimeter game that will succeed at the college and professional level. She would be wise to forget all the talk about Magic Johnson and instead talk to the little guy in Storrs and tell him she'd like to be the next Maya Moore. I don't think she's that good but playing like Maya should be her goal. Of course, Geno would tell her that Maya did play power forward at UConn. She also led her UConn team in assists twice, made 311 three-pointers during her college career and won several player of the year awards. Maya often rebounded the ball and took it coast to coast to score. Maya then moved on to the WNBA as the #1 draft pick. played the wing for the Lynx, won 4 WNBA titles, was finals MVP and league MVP.
