Actually I'm not just evaluating either on the basis of what they did in college. I mentioned either in this thread or one of the other threads we've been discussing the potential draftees that the concern about any player we bring here has to be their ability to mesh in the system the Ms operate both defensively AND offensively. We have players on this team who were first and second options on their collegiate squads, yet we remain frustrated that they don't act like that in this system. I don't think it's them, I think it's the system. That will certainly be the case for Zellous. I think I specifically cautioned when I last said this that we'll have to see how she'll do when she's not hoisting 20-30 shots a night because she sure as hell ain't going to get that in the minutes she's going to have in Sacramento. Nor do I think she'll get it if she goes lower than 7 in the draft.
Re: January. I don't care about how athletic the Pac-10 is or is not. I only care how athletic she is. I have seen January go up against the Big East, ACC et al. I also have seen January for four years, not just the last month.
Of course I don't know how either of the two of them or any player for that matter will do once they get in the pros. If I had that power, I would use it for something other than prognosticating about the WNBA draft.
What I do think I have a handle on is my opinion re: whether or not they'll be asked to be all world here. I think the answer is no. Not with the moves Whiz made and the players likely to return as the core here. They, I believe, will be asked to play a role.
Gearlds situation in Seattle I lay squarely on the rookie toxic combo of Donovan and Agler, probably moreso on Agler because Gearlds at least seemed to play more under Donovan...which isn't saying much. I don't think Gearlds lost skills she had that made her a "steal".
