Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4058491, member: 7511"] One of the challenges in comparing the abilities of different classes of players, even over a relatively short 5-10 year period, is that there has been a significant increase in both the number of really talented players as well as their overall skill level. Kids are coming out of HS “college ready.” There are literally hundreds of young players with size and remarkable skill. Many players are way too talented to lock down defensively, and just about everyone can shoot the 3. The best you can do is limit the damage. Several players immediately come to mind: Ashley Owusu, Caitlyn Clark, Chelsea Dungee, Aari McDonald and UConn’s own Paige Bueckers to name a few. Players with that kind of talent are going to get their points almost every time they lace up their sneakers, regardless of who’s defending them. That’s one of the challenges in making comparisons of UConn players from different classes. The players they’re competing against today are just plain better. [/QUOTE]
