Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 2791361, member: 4946"] I actually find it very easy to disagree. I happen to think averaging 23 and 8 is pretty darn valuable. Especially when you are scoring those 23 as efficiently as Stewart is. No doubt it helps that Bird is getting her great shots but Stewie still has to actually make them. To use the bus analogy, Bird's a great driver, but the bus goes nowhere without the engine, and that's Stewie. Some selected stat rankings for Stewie (per Basketball Reference): 2-pt FG % - 1st PPG - 1st RPG - 5th SPG - 5th PER - 2nd TS % - 4th EFG% - 4th Offensive Rating - 2nd Defensive Rating - 3rd Win Shares - 1st On topic, I think Seattle has to be the favorite. They are the only team in the top 3 in both offensive and defensive rating. I can't shake the feeling, however, that Minnesota and LA are coasting through the regular season and will hit a whole different level come playoff time. [/QUOTE]
