Message: [QUOTE="southofnorth, post: 4540739, member: 9132"] Hence why I brought up her current stats. The players you mentioned all averaged better stats than Beal: [LIST] [*]Cloud averaged 12.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.8 steals per game her senior year at St. Joseph's. Her shooting percentages weren't great (36.8%, 35.1%), but her assists and steals make up for that. [*]Kiah, as I said, is a notable exception. However, she still averaged 4.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and over 3.7 blocks per game in her senior year. She's the exception (as I said before). [*]Emily Engstler averaged 11.9 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.7 steals, and 1.8 blocks per game as a senior. [*]DiDi Richards averaged 6.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.2 steals per game as a senior. Not really a threat from 3, but those assists numbers complimented her defensive reputation. [*]Veronica Burton averaged 18 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals per game as a senior. [/LIST] All of these players offered something other than defense, again, with the exception of Kiah Stokes. All that said, Brea Beal is a great 3 point shooter and could very well make a team. As I said, I am not denying that she could make the league or that she's a good player. What I am saying is that picking her at 7th given the talent there is in this year's draft seems excessive.
