Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 2233037, member: 7894"] That was sort of tongue in cheek on my part. Ionescu may be equally comfortable playing the 1 or the 2. Hopefully it's not heresy to say I see [B]some [/B]similarities between her and Taurasi. Similar size, not exceptional athletes but very smooth and good body control, can get in the lane and get their shots despite not having blazing speed, can be playmakers or scorers. I don't think Ionescu shot a great percentage behind the arc last year but she can certainly hit them. She has a high bball IQ. I keep coming back to the fact she had 3 triple doubles as a freshman. I don't recall anybody ever doing that before. Many players don't have that many during their entire college career. She hit a few game winning shots last year, too. Just a baller. Confident and competitive, too. There will only be one D, but Ionescu will be very interesting to watch as she develops. [/QUOTE]
