Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 4819556, member: 2117"] Brink has a good perimeter shot, she has looked smooth from mid range and deep this year (5-12 from 3 to start, not the biggest sample size but it's a promising figure). I don't see any aspect of Brink's game that isn't pro ready and her game has a lot of similarities to A'ja Wilson. She has massive potential and will thrive in a spread out offense where she has more support from her teammates. Paige so far this year seems like she's sort of recalibrating and figuring out her role on the court. She's not creating for others like she did as a freshman and is playing primarily off ball. She has games where she'll take over offensively and play brilliantly, and then others where she sort of fades into the background and doesn't stand out. She's a go to player some games and just isn't for others. Looking at her in the WNBA, is she a PG or a shooting guard? As you also noted, is she strong enough to handle the physicality of the WNBA right now? And can she stay injury free? She has a lot of unique traits that makes her a unicorn (amazing midrange, maybe the most efficient guard women's college basketball has ever had, great decision maker, etc) but I think another year in college would help prepare her and also serve her (and UCONN) well. A lot can change between now and April, but that's the main reason why I'd consider Brink more pro-ready. [/QUOTE]
