Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4058023, member: 9844"] This probably won't go over well, but I don't think any of the seniors mentioned have enhanced their draft positions compared to their high school rankings. All three have under-performed those rankings. They all could play in the league, but I don't see a starter among them, and I believe Liv may be less than 50/50 to stick in the league. Christyn in the WNBA will probably be a one position player. A shooting guard who can create some, but has a pure shooting touch that is quite mediocre by WNBA shooting guard standards. She can hold her own defensively, but passing and rebounding are not strengths either. Evina in some ways may have more value to a WNBA team than Christyn. She may not have as much of Christyn's ability to create her own shot, but is a far superior passer and rebounder. Those two traits makes her a swiss army knife capable of playing PG and SF in addition to SG. A versatile three position player can often be a good role player, but of course there will be some concern over her knee. Liv I think I have seen as low as #32 in one mock draft. She puts up good numbers against much smaller competition, but needs to show things against WNBA sized C's and PF's that thus far she has not. A WNBA center needs to be able to score and rebound inside thru contact. Liv doesn't do well against physical bigs at all. So if she can't play C at least at WNBA level, is certainly not a stretch 4, or a post up 4 either for that matter, how does she find a role? She could probably defend 4's pretty well as long as they were not wide body post up types, but I just don't see her having success in the league. All three are good but not great college players that by Uconn's very high standards are pretty middle of the pack. The potential greatness among current players is the the freshmen and sophomore classes IMO. [/QUOTE]
