Message: [QUOTE="NOI33, post: 2650897, member: 5730"] I'm glad you recognize your bias lol. There is no way Kia will get drafted before Diamond or Kelsey. No way. I'm willing to bet the same for Gabby. Being a dynamic scorer with the ability to create your own shot and stretch the defence is very, very valuable in the WNBA, especially with length (Diamond). While Kia has proven herself to be a strong 3-point shooter, her ability to create for herself (and even for others) is quite limited. That's not news. Gabby will not go ahead of Kelsey or Diamond either for the simple fact that she's not the basketball player that those two are. She has a lot of developing to do, irrespective of her IQ and pure grit. She simply needs to become a better basketball player, skill-wise. Her athleticism will not be as powerful a tool for her as it is now. It just won't work with the position she plays. Just because a player is extraordinary in the UCONN system, doesn't mean that they'll be as malleable in another developed system. As someone pointed out earlier, she needs to fit in; she is not the type of player that a system is built around. However, I will say that both Gabby and Kia are amazing defenders, so they'll definitely enjoy long basketball careers. They are very selfless and always willing to sacrifice their bodies for the team. [/QUOTE]
