Message: [QUOTE="BobbyJ, post: 3481417, member: 4250"] While I understand that you may want to promote Griffin as the next great thing, you shouldn’t bother to use these meaningless stats to do it. First, when recruiting these kids the coaches pay more attention to how they physically handle the much better AAU competition than the great numbers they put up against the usually overmatched HS kids. And secondly, comparing Griffin’s freshman season to Stewart’s statistically isn’t relevant either. Stewart’s team was so loaded it allowed Auriemma to limit her minutes for teaching purposes. If she’d been on a team like this year’s and more production was needed, in more minutes she’d have easily exceeded those numbers she had. Griffin has a lot of potential and will most likely have a nice career but this comparison isn’t a good one. On that team Griffin would’ve likely gotten similar minutes to the walkons. [/QUOTE]
