Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 3694900, member: 9844"] You are right because US rating services never incorporate foreign players effectively in their ratings. In my opinion Aaliyah would be top 5, and Nika top 10 if they did. I would have liked to have seen more video on Aaliyah, but what I have seen is impressive, and just being the youngest member of the Canadian National Team by itself puts you in elite territory. I am also impressed by comments from the Canadian coach and her high school coach, who while probably biased, when asked how good she could be, said something like "One of the greats". He then clarified he didn't just mean from Canada, he meant everywhere. There is a tremendous amount of Nika videos on youtube and I encourage every interested fan to check them out. If you do I am pretty sure you will want to find minutes for her. You will see a very special passing ability, and I have never seen a player with more highlights of stealing a player's dribble and turning it into a layup at the other end. In my opinion passing, defense, and rebounding at least for a point guard are givens. In her respective leagues she usually leads in assists, is among the top few in steals, and rebounds at a pace more like a SF. [/QUOTE]
