Even though certain posters like to make fun of her, I’d take Ebony over Janelle in a heartbeat. |
well, we'll see if Janel can do better than 2 ppg on 31% FG in her rookie year.

Won't playing time have something to do with bettering those statistics?

Other than food consumption contest, I would take Janel over Ebony. And even then, I would probably take Janel.
McCarville has a higher basketball IQ and a much greater skill set than Hoffman.

I think they should have both; everyone join in!
Ebony and Ivory, sit together in perfect harmony, side by side on the Fever bench, watching Tamika get belted again!

Janel is more of a drinker than an eater. And more of a poker player. Given how badly drinking and poker-playing go together, I wonder if she loses a lot of money.
And is it possible that McCarville would really be better suited to a reality show than to professional athletics? Running around, drinking heavily, playing Hold 'Em, roughing people up.... I'd watch.

In a little more than 4 years, we can test out that Courntey Paris VS. Janel McCarville thing... eek. |
Please tell me Courtney is done growing! If she's not in 4 years the 49ers are going to take her like her old man.

I was absolutely stunned when I saw her in the McDs AA game. She's, umm, SOLID, in both body and skill. She crashes the boards.

If Paris loses 60 pounds like McCarville did when she was a freshman...I could very much compare her to an up and coming McCarville. She could pass the ball pretty well.
For some reason I don't see McCarville setting a half court pick on someone bigger than her. I'm also not to sure how many half court picks she will set in the WNBA.

I think Janel can throw a few back without it affecting her poker game. It's when they start doing body shots...
And I would so watch that TV show. I wonder if she will be on one of those WNBA rookie, follow you around with a camera, ESPN shows.

Courtney Paris is arguably as good if not better than McCarville is now. On the World Junior team last year, she was dominant.
And Courtney is just fine at 250. She is built like a football player...you just don't see it that often in women. She has a body just like her father.

This is basketball...You don't see it that often because men play football.
No doubt she is good, really good. But you cannot say that she could be even better, quicker and faster, if she lost weight.

And she might also lose a lot of strength...
Did you watch Courtney Paris? She certainly was not slow. Someone called her a "Dancing Bear." She is very spry, light on her feet, and fluid, for someone built like a linebacker.

I watched and I think she was very good and will only get better. But that was not ALL muscle.
