Congrats to Arielle! I think I'm happy there is no place for women's basketball players to go or she'd be turning pro like her bro.

Don't follow the women's game too closely, but wouldn't Brittany Griner have been #1 overall after her freshman year if they played by the same rules?

No doubt.

Over Maya Moore?

 

[buffgal]

I don't watch UConn, so I've never seen Maya Moore play. Griner was not the star in the WNBA this year that she had probably expected to be. The three players being promoted by the WNBA were Elena Delle Donne, Skylar Diggins and Griner. The star was Delle Donne.

Griner is so tall and had not faced much defense in her collegiate playing time. She got that in the WNBA. Some big time men's center is working with her and she will be a star for years to come.

Almost never saw Della Donne play on TV in college except for the big tournament because of her decision to stay in Delaware with her sister, but in tourney time you could see what a monster player she is.
