Haley Jones clearly is remarkably and mystifyingly poor at three-point shooting, and not a whole lot better from 15-18 feet. She will need to upgrade those skills for the WNBA.

In spite of that, she's shooting 43 percent overall from the floor this season, higher than a lot of people who have better shooting reps. Hailey Van Lith, for example, is shooting 40.5 overall and just 29 percent from three, in about 150 more attempts than Jones, and yet has a reputation as a shooter and scorer.

Could it actually be what you term 'early hype,' ctkaiser, regarding Jones is more valid than many might now believe, and Van Lith's reputation far exceeds her actual performance?

By the way, I love Lou, but the Huskies' sharpshooter is shooting just 46 percent overall. For sure, many attempts are from longer range, but I'd still argue Haley Jones is a darned good bet to help her team offensively (as well as defensively).

And ucbart: 'limited athleticism?' Are you kidding?
