Yeah, and everybody wondered why Geno was signing that big, slow, chubby kid from New York...Kinda worked out OK, didn't it?

I remember that well. She certainly proved a lot of people wrong. Never underestimate the determination of Stef.

The coach says she and Hartley will work out pretty good for the team. That bodes well for them. He says that players from UCONN are winners. Can't wait to see them against Chicago in Delaware next month!

I think she and Bria will step right in and make a big difference much like they did at UCONN. They have a great forward named Emma Meeseman who just needs to polish her moves and she could be "Delle Donne-like". Dolson will make her better along with Latta.

I think this is the article that is being cited:
http://www.swishappeal.com/2014/4/12/5569604/wnba-draft-2014-prospect-stefanie-dolson-UConn
It is not uncomplimentary at all -- the noncontributing scenario was described as a "worst case". The overall conclusion was this:
"The reasons for excitement about Dolson should be pretty clear: put that combination of McCarville's offensive and Appel's defensive skills into a 6-foot-5 mobile frame and you have the makings of a perennial All-Star caliber center."
"reality is that we just don't have a good comparison for Dolson currently in the WNBA - there isn't a center in the league who had higher perimeter tendencies than Dolson and her scoring efficiency makes it hard to believe she'd be totally ineffective on that front. Ultimately, Dolson has better college statistics than the majority of the centers in the league who played U.S. college ball - the chances of her failing to contribute are slim-to-none; her offensive rebounding numbers and questions about her usage rate being the only things really limiting her potential."
