Ezi Magbegor In The News

Hope she comes just so I can watch the forum go thru the crazy speculation, over-the-top expectations, overwrought hand wringing, and endless second guessing over her and her fellow frosh.
NOT.

It’s not just about how many UConn players are in the WNBA. It’s also about how many are at the top of the WNBA. Look at the WNBA record holders, WNBA All-Stars, WNBA champions, FIBA World Cup teams, and Olympic teams. Names like Sue Bird, Swin Cash, Diana Taurasi, Tina Charles, Maya Moore, and Breanna Stewart show up time after time. Wanna be in that group? Geno can get you there.

If the young lady decides on UConn, I am sure that there will a 20 page thread speculating about her exact height.

I think you're short changing her.

The most scientific and exacting trigonometric studies of every available photo will be made. Too delicious to contemplate.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Just put her next to Z and Lou in the team photo and the height estimation problem is easily solved.

Why play basketball in the USA? This is Australia's idea of a gecko.

What? Are you joking?

Montgomery is a little past her prime now but averaged over 12pts/game her first 5 seasons.
Dolson averaged 15 and 6 this past year.
Hayes has averaged double digits the past 5 years and this past year she averaged 16, 4, and 2.

In 6 years in the league Hayes has averaged 12.9 ppg and has never been a WNBA All-Star. In 15 postseason games she averaged 12 ppg. Hardly stellar numbers by any objective measure.

With regards to Tiffany Hayes you know not of what you speak. Which makes me believe much of what you say is as incorrect.

When you put 5 guys on the floor from UConn in the Olympic gold medal game, it just doesn’t get more impressive than that. And they may have been the best 5.

But lets get real here - what was your original post? You said that Tiffany Hayes jumped from team to team and never made an impact. Your claim was demonstrably false. So why don't you just admit that you were posting claims that were without merit and move on.

Stop trying to play the trolling game.

I see 7 former UConn players in the box score for 2017 WNBA All Star Game. Tiffany Hayes scored 12. Not sure if you're just being a troll or just obtuse. 07/22/17: East All-Stars @ West All-Stars - WNBA.com - Official Site of the WNBA

I'll vote for obtuse.

Which players from Ohio State are in the WNBA? I bet Uconn had more players drafted in one year than Ohio State has in the league now!

Stellar numbers? Maybe not, but damn solid numbers for sure, good enough to be in the Top 15 in scoring. You also stated "Hayes has bounced around the league as well" when she is still with the team that drafted her.

Boston is 85 miles away. One can’t find anything more interesting anywhere! That is a 75-minute drive on the weekend. Granted, Storrs is not Ann Arbor or Bloomington, but Detroit and Indianapolis pale in comparison. I realize college athletes can’t do that in season, but from April to September?! Envious already.

Suspect that Geno sells both Boston and NYC. Both world class but have to agree that Storrs offers less than most college towns (other than a strong University with many banners).

 

[McFly]

Tiffany Hayes has bounced around the league as well,

She has bounced off the floor in every gym in the league countless times, so technically, he's correct.

If Ezi does come might it be the opening of a pipeline to the land down under?

Anyone who has made frequent 15-22 hours trips may think otherwise.

Look at the Olympic teams as well.

Now that's funny right there but true, with attached photos (for evidence) of her standing next to someone that supposedly is 6'-3".

Lol, Standing across from 6'5 Marianna Tolo.

Nice photo. I move to officially call it at 6'4" for Ezi.

You cant do a proper measurement without Bria Hartley part of the picture

There is opinion and then there is ignorance. You said: "Tiffany Hayes has bounced around the league as well." Tiffany Hayes was drafted by the Atlanta Dream. She has started games for all six years she has "bounced around" Atlanta which is the only WNBA team for which she has played. She was named to the 2012 WNBA All-Rookie team. In 2016, Hayes re-signed with the Dream to a multi-year deal. You said: In 6 years in the league Hayes ... has never been a WNBA All-Star. She was voted into the 2017 WNBA All-Star Game. In 2016 she averaged 30 ppg. in the playoff. Her 12.9 ppg. places her in the top 25 WNBA scorers which is stellar by an objective measure and not your subjective measure. In 2016 she was the 12th leading scorer in WNBA. In 2017 she was the 13th leading WNBA scorer. Tiffany's 12 ppg. in the playoffs would consistently place her in the top 25 WNBA playoff scorers. Lindsay Whalen averages 11.7 ppg. in the playoffs. Sylvia Fowles averages 15 ppg. in the playoff. Are they not stellar? Listen to Geno. Points are not the measure of stellar. The player's total game is the measure. Take heart. Ignorance can be fixed.
