Message: [QUOTE="Los24, post: 1993960, member: 7629"] I think both JudgeSCR and hugefan have great points are mostly agreeing but with different perspectives. Judge is right regarding a big part of her being open is everything she does before getting the ball. Hugefan is right that a big portion is the offense, quick ball movement and KLS (and Kia) on the perimeter that does not allow double teaming or even enough time for a help defender. Also, since Gabby is not a traditional big hanging down low but usually spends the majority of her time in the high post Gabby does help open up spacing. As both her shot becomes more consistent and she takes it more often then it will just open things up more. However, if you look at the Maryland game, many teams are willing to give her an open look as they do not think she will hit it consistently. SMU game she did not take many nor made any outside shots (if she hit one I apologize to those that like to harp on an exact specific and miss the greater point.) However, there is no denying Pheese is a better offensive player. Just list the amount of ways that Pheese can score (effectively) vs the amount of ways Gabby can score. Rebounding is a wash. Give Gabby credit for assists as it contributes to the offense. Add the other variables to evaluate that Judge highlights and they all favor Pheese. I think its safe to say that Pheese is a better offensive player both with the stats and the eye test. Plus if you want to give Gabby credit for assist then you need to add in that she has twice as many turnovers than Pheese, and in fact leads the team which hurts the offense. ## Player GP-GS Min--Avg FG-FGA Pct 3FG-FGA Pct FT-FTA Pct Off Def Tot Avg PF FO A [B]TO[/B] Blk Stl Pts Avg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 24 [URL='http://www.uconnhuskies.com/sports/w-baskbl/mtt/napheesa_collier_974866.html']Collier, Napheesa[/URL].. 16-16 491 30.7 127-195 .651 7-17 .412 47-59 .797 40 88 128 8.0 34 2 32 [B]21[/B] 28 33 308 19.3 15 [URL='http://www.uconnhuskies.com/sports/w-baskbl/mtt/gabby_williams_914048.html']Williams, Gabby[/URL].... 16-16 449 28.1 81-151 .536 1-4 .250 28-40 .700 42 92 134 8.4 31 0 78 [B]43[/B] 20 46 191 11.9 Since Geno is the best coach he builds balanced teams with players that compliment each other but do most things well. So yes Lou can shoot lights out but Kia and Soniya can shoot really well. Yes Gabby can score on bigs, but so can Pheese and Lou is not asked to because it would clog things up. Gabby can pass better and Pheese can shoot better. Kia is good on defense and KLS beats her in steals. Gabby is the best disruptor but Pheese is not far off (if you look at steals/blocks.) Nurse helps lead to keep things settled, but Gabby has stepped up as a leader too. Its trivial because the number one stat is 16 -0 this season and 91 -0 is nice too....LOL [B] What I take from it all is we are spoiled with talented and highly skilled players that we have nothing better to do than compare who is better on our own team since the rest of the teams do not offer enough concern to discuss them.
