Message: [QUOTE="tchalla1, post: 3484418, member: 9866"] You made some great points and certainly Megan's decision to leave is hers and hers alone to make, given her own situation and determining factors which we will probably never know. She was one of my fave UConn players and I am sure that she gave it careful consideration. I would have liked for her to--not just for UConn's sake--but for her own development to stay another year, given her progression and improvement from her soph to junior year, her growth vector from junior to senior would have even been more heightened. IMO, I am kind of worried that Megan's game as presently constituted, does not translate well to the WNBA: She is a "sniper", a set shot shooter and I seriously doubt that she will get those wide open looks in the WNBA as she did in the AAC. This is similar to the "struggle" that KLS has experienced in the WNBA. You just don't get uncontested three pointers in that league very often. Additionally, Megan is not particularly well-suited to creating her own shot and penetrating to the basket; she has gotten much better at this during her junior year, but IMO, her overall game is not yet quite developed enough to compete at the next level...
