Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4059594, member: 9844"] The problem with Liv is how her stats are produced. Compared to her college competition she is an effective inside scorer statistically against weak and smaller competition that is nothing like she will face in the WNBA. In fact Geno milks the advantage she has against lessor opponents very effectively. Then against bigger more talented and more physical players she becomes a non factor offensively. More head to head battles with Dorka might help some, but she needs to have big games, particularly offensively scoring down low against future WNBA players like Boston or Brink to improve her stock with scouts. So far she has been very unimpressive against top competition, has trouble finishing at point blank range when in a crowd of bigs, and has generally been unable to bang with wide bodies down low. She has been a very good college center. A lot of very good college players don't really have enough WNBA level skills or size to project as a good pro. Uconn needed Liv very badly since they lost out on a couple of big targets a few years ago. She was the only true big for a while, and we would have had a major challenge if she didn't come here when we were so short of bigs. She filled a need pretty well, but that doesn't mean she is All American material, will make the wall as a Husky of Honor, or make it in the WNBA. [/QUOTE]
