Message: [QUOTE="WBBTakeover, post: 4995395, member: 13257"] I've been pretty firm in what I've said regarding Azzi being a bust and how this would not be an issue if her gender or school affiliation were different. You haven't done so, as I mentioned that WCBB players do not have to go pro early for everyone to see that other players have not reached expectations (hence the label, "bust"). You can spot a WCBB bust just as easily as you can spot a MCBB one. Accolades, achievements, and statistics are still recorded and discussed in WCBB, are they not? How is this related to the discussion of Azzi being a bust, unless you're saying that either (1) both players were considered the top prospects in their respective classes but failed to reach lofty expectations (which isn't true--neither player was the #1 player in her class) or (2) both players far exceeded expectations to the point where they were considered the top player in their respective classes once they graduated (again, untrue--as neither player is named "Aliyah Boston" or "Caitlin Clark")? If that were the case, then why were there so many "Caitlin versus Paige" discussions during this past season? You mean to tell me that there weren't any "Stewie versus Dee" conversations back in 2015-16? Seems to me like you can have these discussions in earnest even if a player's eligibility hasn't been exhausted--as long as the outcome is favorable towards certain players. Since these conversations do not favor Azzi, we have to wait to see how her career plays out. I do not care one bit. I have a right to my opinion as you do to yours. I am of the opinion that Azzi is a bust and nothing you've said or will say will change that. Now--I'll end it on THAT. [/QUOTE]
