Message: [QUOTE="SCGamecock, post: 3542527, member: 6132"] I’ll try not to be a homer PG - Henderson v Taylor... Taylor seems like a game manger to me but she will get a chance to do more under Nikki. Basically this. Anybody saying Taylor is better than Henderson is homering, just like anybody saying Beal is better than Jackson. Taylor has shown us she can manage a game. Destanni has shown us she can score, especially from deep. Both have the opportunity the next few seasons to show us the complete package. Jury is still out. I can’t even give Taylor an edge over Destanni defensively because Henderson is a good defender. I’m willing to call this a wash, but we’ll know who’s better very soon. Jackson vs. Beal is intriguing. I think Jackson has SEC POY potential next season (she’ll have plenty of competition playing in a league with Howard, Boston and Cooke). Beal is an exceptional defender already and has the body to be a serious mismatch on offense (bully ball). As she develops her offense will match her defense, but she isn’t consistent as a scorer from the wing. Do I think she’ll get there? Yes. Jackson is so good on offense already and gives you just enough defensively that you really have to gameplan for her. Jackson wins right now. Cooke v Matharu - Cooke. Both are good from deep. Cooke has improved her shot choice tremendously. What separates Cooke from other guards is her freakish athletic ability and her ability to hit shots in the lane after contact. She has that extra gear that the really elite ballers have. Boston v Carter - Boston. Easily. One just won the Lisa Leslie award for nation’s best center... as a freshman. One is also not really a center, but she does a great job filling that role. Saxton/Amihere v Cooks - a wash right now. Cooks looked like a top 3 player in her class to me out of high school. Not sure where she is now because I haven’t seen her recently. Saxton is good at what she does but doesn’t have a super high ceiling IMO, we’ll see. She’s tough and gritty, you want players like her on your bench. Amihere IMO has the highest ceiling of all three (and possibly of all SCs freshmen). She was #1 in her class at one point but was hampered by injury. Amihere has shown glimpses of how good she can be throughout SCs season but she’s horribly inconsistent. She can slash to the rim, handle the ball and shoot the three. She just needs more time to develop. I’m calling this a wash right now. 2 for SC. 1 for State. 2 evens. [/QUOTE]
