Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 3845382, member: 9844"] There are alternative ways to enhance your WNBA potential. One is to go someplace where you can be the star, put up big numbers and make sure you get your name out there based on your accomplishments. Another is to be a key contributor, but perhaps one of many, on a great team that is always on TV and in the discussion for a national championship. By transferring to Uconn, Evina traded the former for the later. She has transformed her game from a high usage mediocre efficiency player, to a much lower usage rate with much higher efficiency. She has turned herself into a swiss army knife, showing her versatility, and perhaps more importantly the ability to see what the team needs most in that game. Now Evina obviously has injury issues, but I think just from the standpoint of her WNBA aspirations, I think she made a wise choice for a couple of reasons. First after her sophomore season, there were questions regarding her being a me first player, and the role she has assumed on and off the court this year has effectively dealt with those concerns. In addition her most likely role in the WNBA anyway, is not as a star, but as a versatile role player that can be a good teammate. She is showing a more well rounded game, the ability to play three positions in the league etc., and for a team picking in the second half of the first round or early second, that is what teams are looking for.
