Message: [QUOTE="GoChips20, post: 4357934, member: 11308"] I think posters on this forum and others have raised intriguing points about Boston’s lack of explosive athleticism compared to that of the W’s elite frontcourt players, but comparisons to Elizabeth Williams are laughable to me. Boston’s game is very refined and it’s rare to see her make a mistake on the court. She’s a lot like Bueckers in that sense despite their playing virtually opposite positions. She’s no 3-point bomber, but a post player of her size and strength probably [I]shouldn’t[/I] be, and she’s plenty competent facing the basket from the paint to the arc. She’s been arguably the best post defender in the country for most of her college career and showed off some downright dazzling post moves in the NCAAT this year. While the transition from college to pro game will be an adjustment, I think her game after 3 years of school is more complete than many of the 5 players in the W today. She doesn’t compare well to Stewie or Wilson (I’m not sure [I]anyone[/I] does, really) because she’s a different player and doesn’t possess that same rangey, ultra-mobile element that they do. But Fowles has carved out a magnificent career with very little in the way of midrange shooting and to date Boston shows a comfort doing that. [/QUOTE]
