Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2719834, member: 7492"] [B]Uhm... I don't know how to break this to you [/B]but Stewie's numbers PPG, RPG are significantly better than Griners' first two season in the WNBA. I'll be glad to give Griner some slack and you some time to check your facts!

I did not say anything about numbers per se' more about elevating the team to conference finals/championship so you are getting a bit defensive (I also suspected some would not be thrilled with my observation). Both women have played very well is my point and criticism of Griner has been excessive considering her numbers. I am hopeful Stewie will lead her team to the finals and/or championship soon but I am still a bit underwhelmed by Stewie's first two years given all her talent/hype. I think this also points to how much even talent there is among the 12 teams for them to neutralize great players. Putting Stewie/Griner in the same sentence as EDD, Maya, DT, Bird, Parker, Fowles, Charles is still pretty good company. [/QUOTE]
