My prediction-Skylar Diggins-Smith will win as many WNBA titles as she did NCAA championships if Fred Williams allows her to be a gunner.
There are scoring PG’s and then there is Diggins. How on earth does 6’8” Liz Cambage only have 10 attempts against one of the worst frontcourts in WNBA history and SDS has taken 19 shots? And Diggins has taken more FT’s than her as well.
People that want her to be the Olympic PG need their head examined. |
What, a UConn fan who doesn't like Diggins? What were the odds?

Good lord no. She gets her numbers; she doesn't help you win ball games. |
I think Dupree gets herself out of Indiana this offseason.

Same old same old. Diggins runs and guns, the ball's not shared, the other players stand and wait to shoot jump shots.
Ready Freddie just lets Diggins do whatever she wants to. He has not a hair on his ass.
Fred! Get the Hell out! Dallas needs and deserves a real coach, one that takes control of the game and the players. You're in over your head. You have too many good players and do not know what to do with them.
Please, GTF out!

I hadn't heard of her passing... :) |
Hah! What I like about that joke is that it's usually a good indicator of who doesn't follow men's basketball. Like, I don't know how anybody could watch the NBA and not be familiar with Charles Barkley's "rolling over in their grave" bit.

Did you watch the game? There were triple teams and a lot of “aggressive” defense on Liz. Someone else has to score. She had 6 assists as well. The rest of the team needs to find a way to move, screen, pass and cut.
>40% shooting for a non-post is pretty good. Becomes excellent if you add in 14-16 shooting. (Not to mention assists) but if you’re scoring at that clip then you keep on shooting at that pace. My c/o as a Sky fan watching there terrible offense years ago was if a player is shooting over 50%, then they aren’t shooting enough.

SDS is playing out of her mind, yes, but she's also taking some questionable shots that may turn into more productive stuff had they been played balls (to Liz or whoever) instead of crappy bricks.

Gee, I wonder why she's looking to score. Oh and she's 3rd in APG in addition to being 2nd in PPG. That's certainly something to complain about |
Unpopular opinion time: Skylar gets a lot of hate from wnba fans and this board is no exception. Win or lose they always find some way to criticize her. This game is a perfect example of that. She led her team in scoring, steals, assists, and REBOUNDS (she's literally the smallest person on her team!!). And yet, people are bitching about how she's a gunner and whatever else. If someone like Bird or Whalen could even come close to putting up Skylar's numbers, this board would be setting off fireworks.

I’m with some of the commentators here that some posters on here hate her for no reason. I always see complaints about her displaying her femininity. I truly believe that’s why some posters dislike her and find a lame excuse to drag her through the mud. Skylar is the leader of the Wings. Her stats show she is doing her job. She said so herself that she would have to knock down open shots because she knew that Liz was going to get double teamed. Hopefully her teammates can get going consistently too.

This is interesting. I’m watching the game from last night and the first thing that Skylar did was throw Cambage the ball in the high post each time down? Can you explain how she’s doing what she wants and is not giving Cambage the ball again?

You can add Parker to this list as well and one for the all time lists, La Leslie. I can’t speak for anyone else, so I’ll add that I love a good villain. As much as I appreciate Catchings, Moore, Bird, etc .. I can also appreciate the players named above.
