Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 5091996, member: 3535"] There is a risk for any player. There is a risk for driving a car too. One has to weigh their own risk. I would think the more you work to get stronger as a player, the less risk you have of future injury. Risk vs reward. IMO too great of a risk in year 1 for Azzi going through WNBA rigors vs getting one full year under her belt. I'm not sure about your point of sitting out. A team that drafts 4th expects their star player to play is my guess. The teammates would at some pont have some expectations too. If the team is struggling how much pressure would the player put on herself to want to come back quickly (more than they should?)? If she is making nil money and can get stronger -- why would she go through this WNBA rigor? The WNBA doens't pay that much. If she get shurt in College again why would we think she probbaly owuldn't have gotten hurt wiht evne less time off playing in the WNBA right after the collge season ended? [/QUOTE]
