Honestly she’s not doing that great against WNBA players, still good, but clearly she’s small. And probably tired. The two weeks off will do her good. And she’s young. In 4 years she’ll be a bit bigger, stronger, and not have played an entire college season and half a pro before the Olympics start.
You're probably right. Still a rookie, technically. And you see that in the stats.
But no one is going to give a $#it about this team. All the female athletes are like Megan Rapinoe. But with CC on the team, maybe we'll tune in for the games and root for USA.
That’s my thinking, she will be ready in 2028 and probably 1-2 Olympic teams after that. Being the most famous female player doesn’t equate to one of the best female players in America.
Depends on your metrics. She is tripling viewership and setting all kinds of attendance records. She also just set a league performance record for rookies. Imagine what she might be doing if she wasn’t public enemy number 1 and was not pkaying on the worst team in the League.
Yeah, there are a lot better and more refined players in the WNBA. Of course they could of pulled a cynical profit taking/ratings grabbing move of adding her to the team but I am glad the OC maintained some type of dignity.
Rookies in the WNBA have the worst time adjusting. Most gals are coming off March Madness season lasting into early April and the draft, then bang, season starts in May. Not much of an off-season rest, then you are facing seasoned pros, tough adjustment.
