Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5139690, member: 7511"] Save some crow for me. It’s not the meager 6 points she scored. SC is a relentless defensive team that can clamp down on an opponent. But Prince had only 2 rebounds in 33 minutes. Five of her teammates had 2 or more rebounds and three of them were reserves. When you’re 6’7” and 2 rebounds is all you have to show for 33 minutes against a top opponent, there is something lacking in your effort. In UCLA’s win over SC, Betts had 14 rebounds, often ripping them down against a swarm of SC players. But you can’t teach 6’7”. So someone in the W will draft Prince and she may hang around for years as a backup center, i.e. Mercedes Russell, frustrating all the fans and pundits who see her enormous potential. Note that Russell was likely left unprotected by the Seattle Storm and the Valkyrie passed on drafting anyone off the Storm’s roster in the expansion draft this past week. [/QUOTE]
