Message: [QUOTE="and one, post: 3483803, member: 10475"] I'm less pessimistic about Meg's pro career. She may or may not become an elite pro but she has a lot of assets. She has a good shot, can rebound, and has a build to stand up to a physical pro game. She also has had 3 years to learn to play the way UConn teaches, something WNBA coaches value. Whether or not the extra year of college ball would make a large difference to her pro career trajectory can't be proved either way. It could be argued that spending a year practicing and playing against pros is more valuable in the long run than an extra college year. Would Zion have become a better pro if he stayed extra years at Duke? Or James if he went played a year or two in college? Extra years in college are more likely to improve draft position than improve a career. There are players that would benefit from an extra year in college, to improve skills and mature physically, but the extra year isn't going to change a pro career from C- to B+. [/QUOTE]
