I don't know about MVP, but Monica Wright and Tiff just saw 6th Player of the Year leave the room.

You liked where the post tried to correct me. I figured you would like my post too when I showed I was right.

I read the board. You post a lot. Hard to miss, DC.

no thanks... he's too clingy, such a turnoff

And your professed love for Diggins turns me off.

I figured you would want to like a post that had her correct stats.

Actually, there are way to many turn offs to list.

Trust me, you couldn't be further from the truth.

Nope.

The 36.6% is on her 2 pointers. Not her overall percentage, which is, indeed 33.5.

You like this one, DC?

Sorry about posting bad information, but ESPN listed that as Skylar's FG%, not her 2-pt. FG%. Since when does FG% imply only 2-pt shots? Weird. But the WNBA link you provided was interesting, as it revealed how much Skylar is improving her shot (or shot selection) as the season progresses:

25.6% in May
31.7% in June
33.3% in July
37.5% in August
39.4% in September

DD, It seems to me that DaddyChoc doesn't have a thing for Skylar, but rather dislikes the way you put down players you do not like. If anyone were to write about UConn players the way you write about Diggins and just about every Lady Vol, you would go ballistic. Players from opposing teams are not bad people just because they attended other schools.

Please find the posts where I put down a player.

You can quote me directly. I can take it.

And pro players get different treatment than other players.

Telling the truth is not putting them down.

Really great stats on that site.

Now, I'm not trying to put her down. I am just looking more closely at the numbers.

She did improve some as the year went on. She had such a slow start, she had to improve. Her August numbers were certainly better.

The September numbers are based on only 3 games. She was 4-19 in the first two games and 9-14 in the third game. Hardly a trend.

I'm not convinced she will ever be an effective shooter in the W. Her ball handling, defensive ball hawking skills and charisma will keep her in the league.

If that is putting a player down, you need to grow a thicker skin.

No, you didn't put down Skylar in that post, but I would say you did in post #10 of this thread, although it was a mild insult. The idea you state above

is not true. The truth can be expressed as an insult, as it is all in the way the comment is worded. I can speak the 'truth' about UConn players (or former UConn players) in a way that is clearly insulting and bring down the wrath of the board members. I do not do so because it would be cruel to the athlete and the other Boneyard readers and I would be violating board rules by behaving like a troll. As a UConn fan, you have far greater leeway than I do and far less reservation in telling the 'truth' about players you do not like.

And to the point of Skylar's improvement, you wrote that Skylar's recent improvement in September is misleading because there are only three games used to comprise that average. Then why don't we just use the past 10 games as a guide? In the past 10 games, Skylar is shooting 39.1 %, which is higher than her Aug total and nearly the same as her present average in September. In her past 5 games, she is shooting 39.6%, which is marginally higher than her 3-game September average. That constitutes evidence of improvement in her shooting. And as you mentioned, her shooting is not her greatest asset. Always nice to shore up a weakness.

Well, if that comment is an example of me putting down a player, I was right, you do need a thicker skin. I hope you have a few more. Based on your other post, there must be a slew of them right at your fingertips.

I do agree with you on how it's more how you say something. I can be a little caustic at times.

Lastly. Please look at the 10 games prior to her 9-14 in her last game. I still say her improvement is not a trend but it jumped based on one game.
