She does this early every year then disappears when it matters.

To be fair, her "disappearing" is usually because of injuries.

I gotta respectfully, but strongly, disagree with you on Bueckers. IMO, if she stays healthy she'll deserve to be a candidate for NPOY. Not that I want her to be that good, but I'm afraid she is.

The disappearing that VolBall09 is talking about is Bueckers disappearing or choking in big games.

I was being sarcastic. Sorry. Exactly.

Weird thought but I wonder if the Sparks or the women Warriors try to pull Gottlieb from USC.

Nah. She hasn't proven herself in college ball much less the pros. It's taking forever but so far 2 of the coaching jobs have been filled with really good coaches, one assistant in the W and one well thought of veteran college coach. Hope LA does as well.

I'm going to get Dark Phoenix all riled up but right now I'll take a healthy Paige over current JuJu any day. I'm an old head who can't stop appreciating efficient basketball and Paige has never had a college season where she didn't shoot 50/40/90. That's just incredible.

I get Paige has way more experience than Ju Ju but right now JJ is just too forcey. Struggling to do what she does within a system, not as a system unto itself. And alot is coaching. Geno has tons of experience coaching superstars, Gotleib does not and it shows.

Paige needs a biscuit or two no doubt but boy would she translate seamlessly into the LA Sparks front court.

Damn, again, these freshman are amazing. Sara Strong, like Joyce Edwards, looks like she was born playing major P5 college basketball. Every year the players are getting better and better. That's why it's so exciting for the LVs to be back on that train again.

I really hope someone take's a look at Lindsey Harding. Matter of fact I need Magic to walk his egg head over to the bench and ask if she’s interested in coaching Rickea and Cam+ (Kiki or Miles)

The Valkyries already hired their coach. I don’t see her leaving USC. The W can’t pay her what college can.

You mean Paige Rickea and Cam. I'd take Miles if they can't get Paige for some godforsaken reason. The sparks really don't need KiKi, and lol I don't need her threatening Rickea's minutes.

Feels like the Mystics will get the 1st. With DD on the way out perfect situation for Paige to slide right in. Definitely hope Dallas doesn’t get the pick. But we’ll see Sunday.

Totally slipped my mind that they hired a coach.

4:57 2nd quarter

Could this be Coach B’s Ohio State?

 

[Hooper22]

Not sure if anyone is tuned into Murray State and LSU , but it’s a 9 point lead for the Racers at half 46-37. Outscored LSU 32-12 in the 2nd quarter.

Murray St. was hitting everything but LSU's defense was non-existent and Murray St. was able to get to the rim at will. This has to be one of the worst games I've seen Morrow play at LSU.

It’s close.

 

[CoryDallasLV]

I believe that she’s technically hit the minimum requirement of time off to recover, but given her history with injuries they’re probably playing it safe.

My understanding is that Fudd still needs some time before she is cleared for full 5 on 5 and contact, Might be a while before she’s back and plays significant minutes or is back at full strength. That was probably October though when I heard that so not sure how far along she is now.

Nothing wrong with your take, I certain things about both of their games. Juju is 19 right now, let’s see how far she progresses by the time she’s 23. But I won’t argue with someone that would take Paige right now because she can do it all and I respect that about her game.

If the Sparks don’t get Paige, I think they take Kiki. You can’t pass her up as the best player available.
