Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 3760477, member: 3834"] Van Lith has been very impressive as has Caitlin Clark but I wouldn’t trade Paige for either one of them. I will say that I think it is very possible that Van Lith or Clark will be Freshman of the year rather than Paige as it is difficult to see Paige averaging the same kind of numbers as the other two players. UConn has rarely had a player (Maya) that puts up big numbers every game as we tend to have more balance. Also, Paige will most likely be playing point guard which makes it even more unlikely that she will be a big scorer. Of course, she is capable and may be so talented that she does anyway but I think it unlikely because we have so much talent surrounding her. I was pretty sure Van Lith was going to be a star. She is pretty impressive. I thought the biggest difference between Paige and her in HS was that Paige was a bit smoother, more in control, and a better passer. Van Lith was more of a bull in a China closet. I don’t mean that as a put down merely as a description of their relative strengths. She (Van Lith) has landed on a perfect team for her strengths and clearly is going to be a star. I’m still happy with Paige though! [/QUOTE]
