Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I never claimed she was a female Curry but she's a better shooter than many on that team.

But does she take shots at the right time? Does she mesh with the team? Does she play defense? She's a good shooter, but she's not a shoe in for a spot, she's not that good of a shooter.

Choosing a Olympic basketball team is Politics. Diane Taurasi was a wasted spot just because she thought she deserved to be there.

Everything involving groups of people making decisions turns into politics.

I agree she's a wasted spot, but I don't agree Clark was a no brainer pick.

Woodsman vol is all I needed to see to know it was a certifiably psychotic post.

Maybe she is. But she hasn’t proven that yet in the league.

Clark 32.7%

- Collier 31.6%
- Copper 33.3%
- Gray 24% (only played in 11 games this year recovering from injury), career 38.2%
- Sabrina 34.5%
- Loyd 25.8%, career 35%
- Plum 37.4%
- Stewart 22.9%, career 35.4%
- Taurasi 35.5%
- A’ja 38.9%
- Young 34.1%, career 39.3%

Caitlin also has the 2nd highest TO % in the league at 27.1%

Yeah, she sux.

 

[Rishvol]

This game is awful. Teams are shooting a combined 25% with about 25 combined turnovers.

Sounds like a normal WNBA game imo

Wife just got me tickets to the Fla game. We better not find a way to lose that game this year.

You should see what that guy post in the political forum. He’s quite the visionary

 

[MarcoVol]

Yeah, she sux.

I’m a big Caitlin fan.

But also she hasn’t proven through actual data that she’s a better shooter in the league than the women that made the team. And she turns the ball over a lot.

She’s still my fav women’s player to watch play.

 

[Devo182]

Yea shes in Indianapolis unfortunately

Maybe one day.

She's currently shooting 32.7% from deep in the pros, so she's average to below average rn.

Chef is a career 42.6% shooter.


2028 in LA I'm sure we'll see Reese and CC on the roster, if not in the starting 5.

Edit: Marco'd

Data doesn't always paint the picture. Why even play the game just use a computer to determine the outcome using data.

Im good, i prefer to keep my sanity today

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

You may not believe in reverse jinx, but my belief will carry us both.

It doesn't always work...but it does work a lot..lol..

That guy's an idiot.

Me or the I was screenshoting?

Gaston Moore has been running Heupel's offense for like 7 years, I would hope that he would look pretty good running it in practice at this point. It doesn't mean that he's good enough to start.

 

[InVOLuntary]

So we tied China at 40 gold medals?

 

[MarcoVol]

Data doesn't always paint the picture. Why even play the game just use a computer to determine the outcome using data.

Like I said, I enjoy watching her play more than anyone else.

But data does matter. Turnovers are a huge thing. She’s 69th in the league in assist-turnover ratio (to support her having the 2nd highest turnover % in the league).

By the next Olympics, hell by next year, I would expect that her 3PT shooting % and A-T ratio are greatly improved and there will be zero question on whether or not she deserves to be on the team. Just bad timing with her first year in league being Olympic year. She’s had less time to prove herself.

Happy Sunday

August 11, 2024: I speak to those who have a tendency to judge and criticize people around you. Be aware that if you are critical you will be criticized. It is a product of the spiritual law of sowing and reaping. If you do not want to be judged, you must be willing to overlook what you consider to be flaws in others and know that I love them as I love you, says the Lord. Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that you be not judged.

 

[knoxvol52]

Every day is different. Just win.

Yes if the teams are close in talent. This game was like Tennessee playing Tennessee State in basketball. This board would've blew a gasket if the game was that close.

Go watch her highlights from the WNBA Allstar game. She's not just a shooter. Also, the stats are relatively skewed by a small data set. I would have taken her over a few of the players that made that team.

 

[Devo182]

Fair, but I don't know any actual WNBA folks that thinks she's a top 12 type player as a mere rookie. That would be a nuts accomplishment.

Soon enough, but I just don't get the constant push for her and Reese when neither is more than a top 30 player with elite marketability at this moment. I think most folks just like her style of play, which is obviously amazing. But she ain't there yet and that's not a knock for a rookie.

Why...if she sucks so bad?
