Paige final season

[ConnMotors]

They would get the 5th pick. And, I agree on the Golden State name. It stinks

Not sure why Geno didn’t recruit CC, but I doubt it had anything to do with overlap of similar skill sets. After all, he recruited Nika, another pg, after getting a commitment from Paige, the #1 player and best pg in the world. Paige can play effectively with anyone, including CC, as she demonstrated when they both played on the FIBA U19 world championship team.

I would like to see Paige in LA, because I think it would do more to elevate the W than any other scenario. But wherever she ends up, Paige will be a star and everyone she plays with will be better for it.

Ha! A valid point, Oldude, except it might be a stretch to lump Nika with Paige and Caitlin as sharing 'similar skill sets.'

As we're now seeing in the WNBA and as she demonstrated with the U-19 national team, Caitlin can also play with anyone. My hope, as I've mentioned here before, is that Paige and Caitlin will be the U.S. backcourt for several Olympics. I'm quite sure Paige would love to be on the receiving end of some of Caitlin's assists. I just hope we're around to see it.

Somehow Caitlin has found her way back onto this board on a thread about Paige. Someone must be obsessed. Either that or they sincerely believe Caitlin is only worth thinking about by contrast with Paige... who is undoubtedly the better player. She is the moon to Paige's sun.

Yes. Put Paige and CC together in the same backcourt and I have no doubt they would play off each other beautifully. As I said, Paige can play with anyone and make them better, including CC. One more thing about Paige. I believe she’s the only player in the history of WBB to make 1st team AA as a pg and later as a power forward, something that speaks volumes about her ability to fit into any situation on any team.

Easy now. The discussion was about where Paige might be drafted and if she and CC could play together effectively in IN. The bottom 4 teams in the W will all be part of the lottery and, as a result, they will all have a shot at Paige, assuming she’s the #1 pick, as we all expect. As of right now those 4 teams are the Fever, Mystics, Sparks & Wings.

But never fear, the Fever, including CC, appear to be hitting their stride. They are just 1 win away from losing their lottery status. That would most certainly end any speculation about Paige & CC playing together next season.

I thought the discussion was about Paige's final season. I get that it makes sense to segue from that into likely draft scenarios, and even into reflections of what her experience might be on various teams. But somehow that morphed into a free-floating anthem to CC, as here:

As we're now seeing in the WNBA and as she demonstrated with the U-19 national team, Caitlin can also play with anyone.

She was a great player -- almost as good as Paige -- and she seems to be finding her sea legs in the W. But rather than say "Caitlin can also play with anyone", it might make more sense to say that if she has the good fortune of playing on Paige's team, Paige will be able to make her look good, make up for her shortcomings, etc.

And by the way, I agree with your implicit suggestion that Nika Caitlin and Paige have similar skill sets. Most notably, they all are quite fond of the transition "home run" pass. Paige and Nika are significantly better at this than Caitlin, though she has other virtues.
