Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 5327410, member: 10435"] Not at all. In her last two games against teams that knew her, Duke and UNC, Latson was a combined 6-35 from the field. She usually took 33 1/3% of the team's shots. Imagine if Paige did that with her proficiency? The point is that scoring average alone doesn't necessarily connote greatness or serve as the only point of comparison between players. I will go one step further. Larson won't average 25 a game with SC but Serah may indeed average closer to her 20 here than Latson's 25 at SC. And, if you prorate the minutes, Williams may average more. But it isn't just the points, it's the presence, it's the weapon. We haven't had a post scorer like that in along time. She is a classic, fundamentally sound post player, who seals, reseals, gets position and, as has been pointed out, can shoot a 15 footer, is a good free throw shooter, and a glass cleaner. She knows how to protect the rim as well. No, she was the best player in the portal, and definitely the best for us. If she gets enough minutes she will be an AA. Maybe not first or second team due to Azzi and Sarah, but likely third team or honorable mention. Just watch videos of her at Wisconsin and imagine KK, Sarah, Azzi, Jana (yes, Jana who by the way is a lot better passer than people think), Kayleigh, Ash etc. getting the ball to her when she is open and ready. Remember, the last All Big Ten post player we got as a transfer is in the W. That's where Serah is headed also. [/QUOTE]
