Saniya Chong was better (offensively) in high school

For sure, and really disappointed in Breanna Stewart. She is averaging four less points and five less rebounds than in high school for CNS. Why do all these young players forget how to shoot and rebound as soon as they come to UConn? Same with KML, who averaged seven more points for Mater Dei. They need to find themselves a good coach.

Since Dobbs forgot the requisite emoticon, I'm sure somebody out there's preparing a blistering response....

A lot of other factors. (also, maybe) They don't have the room to shoot, they get closed down much quicker, they have to shoot over much taller players, the game itself is just much quicker. Mentally, a lot more at stake in college. College itself, with it's pressures is very different than HS. Not being "the man", which you kind of covered.

The game is just different at each level. HS to College to WNBA to Olympics. No guarentee that being good at one level will translate to the next.

For women...WNBA is at the top. The best of the best.

Not for USA players. Being an Olympian is the next step up.

I'd say it's icing on the cake but being WNBA champ means you're the best in the world.
