Message: [QUOTE="Shades, post: 2541748, member: 6101"] The fact that you felt a need to qualify it to starters to make a little stronger case for Nurse shows how valuable Stevens has been. [U]In only 22.1 mpg, Stevens leads the whole team in[/U]: FG% .593 Rebounds 147 RPG 8.2 Blocks 37 [U]In only 22.1 mpg, Stevens is in 2nd place on the whole team in[/U]: FTA 47 FTM 37 FT% .787 Points 266 Statistically speaking, it seems like Stevens would be the most important player on the team if Geno wasn't holding her back to 22.1 mpg. That being said, I'm not making a case for Stevens as most important. I'm making a case for Gabby Williams. [U]As the lowest mpg starter (27.1), Williams leads the whole team in[/U]: Assists 85 Turnovers 49 (Okay, this is not a great category to lead. She's probably trying to do a little too much, but she's still close to a 2:1 ato) What does leading these two categories as a forward tell you? The offense runs through Williams more than you probably realize. Steals 49 (The next player is at 29.... not even close) She's not exactly a dog at scoring with a .568 FG%, but she's unselfish as being the leader in assists shows. And she's doing it all while being hampered by migraine and hip issues. Chalk me up in Gabby's corner. She was the most important last year and still is. [/QUOTE]
