Message: [QUOTE="Bronx23, post: 2614041, member: 8501"] Not to be argumentative but I truly don't understand this question. Kia's shooting is very good when she's got a good amount of room between her and her defender. When closely guarded she is unable to put the ball on the floor and get by her defender. Let's not confuse this with her non-stop motor and running past players to make breakaways. I believe Gabby will go amongst the first 3-5 players and at best Kia is bottom of the first round. Because of all her incidental traits as a player and teammate and strong in your face defense she likely will be a solid sub. She also is nowhere near as quick as some guards. I don't mean to be criticizing Kia, she's truly an amazing, outstanding leader and human being and has made something good of everything she's been given. Gabby as everyone knows is a an exceptional athlete. There has hardly ever been anyone like her. I believe it will translate well to the pro game but she has to improve mostly her two point shot. I don't see her hoisting up threes and she doesn't need to. These are truly two of the great U Conn players and I wish them the very best of everything. Both may well accomplish as much or more off the court, than on, and at least from my perspective that's huge. Bronx23 [/QUOTE]
