Message: [QUOTE="CamrnCrz1974, post: 2791679, member: 1052"] Alana Beard was taken 2nd in the 2004 WNBA Draft behind Diana Taurasi. She made her first All Star team in 2005, her second year. In her third season, she averaged 19.2 ppg. She made the All Star team in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2009, before injuries caused her to miss the 2010 and 2011 seasons entirely. In her first six seasons, Beard averaged 16.2 ppg while playing 193 regular season games (out of a possible 204 games). I am not sure what you meant by "how long it took a defensive specialist 'Alana Beard,'" but Beard proved herself to be an offensive threat in her rookie year (i.e., immediately). [/QUOTE]
