I think VanDerveer just prefers Brink and Iriafen in the post. Even Belibi's minutes have shrunk. VanDerveer claimed she was gonna experiment with Brink at the 3 more I think just so that she could find some minutes for all her post talent, but that experiment must not've panned out lol
I understand the preference to Brink and Iriafen. But I don't get her not playing at all? Like imagine if the #1 men's recruiting went to a top school and didn't play. Seems like it should be a bigger story.
It really just goes to show you that the talent doesn't spread out in wbb like it does in mbb. There are many good mbb programs, but there seem to be fewer perennial-NC-contender type teams in mbb compared with wbb. If the same few wbb teams get all the good talent, there are only so many starting spots & starring roles. Also, 13 mbb roster spots per team vs. 15 in wbb – I think that plays a big role in the differences in talent distribution as well. I personally would like to see wbb go down to 13 for that very reason.
Jones' lack of an outside shot is really going to hurt her pro game.
I hate to say it I hope I don't sound ridiculous
but once again, Tara VanDerveer just can't develop her guard prospects into being better than they are coming out of high school
not like a good amount of them don't have the ceiling to be legit stars
This is where a team like Minnesota drafting Jones would help her game. Also puzzling the lack of minutes for Betts. VanDerveer relies so much on Brink and now it's hurting her because of the foul trouble.

They did mention that Betts dinged up her ankle this morning I guess, but still year.
Aside from shooting, I'm really going back and forth with Jones or Miller. They both do a lot good, but a lot to desire from a pro standpoint.

Also not me trying to revive the Rebkell Game Thread today lmao
I know the college game threads aren't that active here(if I remember to start them), but they've been dead over there this year unless it's a UCONN game.

At least when all of us are here, it's popping - which is typically Sundays when all of us are sitting on the couch at the same time. We do party here!

The NCAAW season here is actually busier than in previous years. I'll try and do more game day threads in advance after the holidays. New, active members with sp, @undersized, snowman2 (returning) plus more frequent visits from hoopsmom, sigur3, pilight & Cardinal22 also help.

Even today’s UConn game thread over there was pretty dead for a Sunday afternoon, which I didn’t mind 😌
I’m trying to keep my sundays work-free, not sure yet if that continues in the New Year but hopefully 🤞🏼
So according to my mock draft peeps, Haley Jones is a PF for Stanford and doesn't need an outside shot to succeed in the W. And some of them are paid for what they do.

🙈 yikes
whichever WNBA team runs their offense the most different to how VanDerveer runs Stanford’s offense should be the team that drafts Haley Jones honestly lmao that’s what I’ll be rooting for!
