Message: [QUOTE="blackbird, post: 3842076, member: 1782"] Honestly, I think people give them too much credit. DT made that group far better than what they were. Again, the best WNBA player (after DT) from that group was Ashley Battle, the second best was Jessica Moore. I expect ONO, Williams, Nika, and Edwards will all have better WNBA careers than Ashley Battle. And I say that as someone who loved those teams..but they had no business winning a championship. This is the first time since then where a team was so dependent on one player. I am interested in seeing what she does in the tournament, and it is amazing what she is doing right now, and even being compared to what DT did..shows how incredible she is playing - 14 games into her career. But she still shouldn’t be expected to or have the pressure to do what DT did. If she gets this team to a Final Four she will have cemented herself as the best Freshman ever, and if she gets a championship..then we can talk about her having a better season than DT..but again, it’s not even fair to put her there. DT’s jr season is what cemented her as the best UConn player ever..It’s not even remotely reasonable to put that on Paige. [/QUOTE]
