Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 5080611, member: 3834"] Agreed! Arike, while a great scorer, is absolutely poison to any kind of team concept. She is a volume shooter who needs the ball in order to impact the game. She might score 35 on consecutive nights but one night might be 9 for 32 while another might be 11 for 27. When she gets the ball her first , second, and third option is to shoot it! She [B]is[/B] capable of a high assist night but does not look for it. I doubt she will ever sniff a championship and have to wonder if she would even [B]want[/B] to be on a team that actually emphasized passing, ball movement, and defense! It is an indictment on the Wings organization that either they cannot recognize the inevitable outcome (mediocrity) of featuring this kind of player or that they just don’t really care about the quality of basketball they put on the floor as long as the fans keep buying tickets! I hope Paige does not end up on that kind of team! [/QUOTE]
