this was written weeks ago and she's had a great stretch since an uneven start where she wasn't shooting efficiently and turning the ball over a lot. In recent weeks she's come into her own in this league and it's been very impressive.
Historically No. 1 overall picks are usually great, actually. 12 of the last 16 rookies of the year have been No. 1 or 2 overall picks. Candace Parker won league MVP in 2008, in fact. Every critique of a player is not having something "against her." It's just objective analysis.
Dallas will not make the playoffs this year if the coaching staff continues to allow Arike to shoot 30 shots a game. She may be second in the league in scoring but she's average 25 shots/game, player in 2nd place is at 20, Arike ranks 40% in shooting % in the W. On the Wings, Maddy is second at 11 shots/game. Latricia Trammell and her staff will not give Lou Lopez-Senechal a chance - why? Does she suck in practice? Lou can shoot from 3, drive to the hoop, can stop and pop. The playbook has been to let Arike have the ball and get out of her way. Maddy makes her own hoops and the bigs score off rebounds. That's my first impression.
Hahahaaaa Caitlin looked like a rookie averaging 15-5-5? Rookies in the WNBA must be great then! What do you all have against her, seriously
