Sarah Strong: Would you bet against her getting 2 triple doubles next season?

[Spaceman213J]

I know triple doubles are rare and this just comes from a friend and I betting on something rare to happen next year. I predicted that Strong gets two triple doubles next year. She's a walking double double and I think as she becomes more of a focus on offense, and being as smart as she is and as good as a passer she is, it's quite possible.

I think what could limit her chances are what hurt Paige from notching several... being up so big she won't get the opportunity at times.

What do you guys think?

My momma didn't raise no fools. Hope that is clear.

UCONN has only had 5....ever.

Lishness, Dolson, KLM, Stokes, and GWilliams.

But I'd say she has a good a chance as anyone of getting one.

No

Stokes included 10 blocks

A better bet might be does she average a double-double next season.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

If she were on a team where she was needed to play 35 mins every game I would take the well over on that.

 

[and one]

She'll get at least 10 points in almost every game. Maybe every game. 10 rebounds is real good work but doable; she'll have some 10 rebound games. To complete the triple double it will be via assists, blocks or steals. 10.steals is way rare. 10 blocks less so but still rare. 10 assists is a lot but not rare. Granted she's not a dedicated point guard type distributor, but she is a good ball handler, has great court vision and has a lot of good scorers she can dish to. So I see at least one triple double and a second isn't out of the question.

 

[JellyBean]

Nope.

 

[dtbtbtb]

While i believe Sarah will average a double double (points and rebounds) for the season, i don't see her assist numbers this high this season because a lot of her assists were from pick and roll or pick and pop with Paige and there is no player on the current team who'll be able to fill Paige's part.

I have no doubt Sarah will get multiple triple doubles over the next three years, my prediction is that she may well get a quadruple double. She is such an all round player that I believe it is very possible. Great scorer, great rebounder, great passer, great instincts/timing, and possibly the best hands I’ve ever seen!

If you have the opportunity to revisit your wager, perhaps you can propose that she will have at least one game of 5 three point shots made, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, 5 assists, and 5 block shots. You can call it "The Pentagon"!

That said, I would nonetheless also ask for steep odds!

Stokes included 10 blocks

That’s insane.

I’m thinking two things. If she’s approaching a triple double…she’s not playing the entire game. And second…she will be passing less next year and on the receiving end of those assists. I wouldn’t rule out her averaging a double double for the year…points and rebounds.

 

[CTyankee]

She may get more than two.

 

[Vowelguy]

Would I bet against that? Yes.

Her max assists last year were 6, in three games. Two of those were in the first couple of weeks, before Geno started hassling her to shoot more and pass less. Without Paige, he will probably beat that drum even louder.

The high-low to Serah. I like at least 2 triple doubles next year.

There is a similar achievement called a "5 by 5". Quite difficult, but easier than what you propose. 5 points, assists, rebounds, blocks, and steals.

The most difficult being the 5 blocks and 5 steals. Of the two, I would probably go with the blocks.

 

[Urshurak]

I don’t think we have seen anywhere near her ceiling yet. She is just unbelievable as a freshman. Holy smokes imagine her senior year?

She should've had 6 in the Elite 8. Aubrey blew a layup and Azzi passed up a sure basket and dribbled back out. Strong's gonna surpass 6 next year. Not sure about 10 due to the system.

Defo!

 

[jazz]

Sarah will get more assists by passing out of the high post to Serah. I think there is a good chance she gets a triple double or two this year.

 

[HuskyPhan]

I can definitely see Sarah joining the triple/double club this coming season, especially with the addition of Serah as a target for assists. On the other hand, I believe that same addition of Serah Williams will have a real impact on SS rebound totals. If Serah Williams and SS share at least 20 minutes of courttime per game, I doubt SS will avg 10/reb/game-which is fine with me because there are only so many rebounds to go around with 2 monster rebounders on the floor at the same time!!! My goodness, what a year we have coming up

Paige would never come close to a triple double..she only had 4 2dbl her whole career,,she just isn't a great facilitator..good but not great..that's why her career assist average is only 4.5
