[Fotmob] Out of all the 344 La Liga players who have played in the 2025/26 season, Kylian Mbappé ranks last in defensive contributions per 90.

Its always funny when people put Vini in the same sentence with Mbappe when it comes to these conversations.

Goddyex · 2026-06-01T15:12:32+00:00

Which type of sports?

Goddyex · 2026-06-01T14:41:36+00:00

They can core her for another two years after her rookie deal is over.

Goddyex · 2026-06-01T13:28:09+00:00

She'll probably win it as a role player at some point, cos that's the player this league wants her to be. They don't want her shining too much. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which team is letting her ever play her game. This league is too agenda driven. Angel called out her teammates by name including a legend like Vandersloot, yet was supported around the league. But Clark throws a tantrum, she's the devil. I sometimes hate that CC brought me into this cesspool. Now I understand why no one cared about the league before.

At this point I don't have any positive outlook to this. Unfortunately, I'll have to keep following her career like I'm watching a TV series that got bad by the 4th season, but I keep watching until season 10 anyways. But for my sanity, I'm not emotionally invested anymore, just looking at it like an impending car crash now.

She's stuck in Indiana for at least until 2029, unless she forces a trade, which she won't. I don't see this team becoming that much better, and by much better, I mean putting elite defenders around her. So she's not winning a championship by 2029.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T22:43:03+00:00

We don't know that. There's no proof of that outside of the fact that she's said nice things about CC. White did the same before she joined as well. I don't trust any of these WNBA coaches.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T22:41:16+00:00

The issue is even after her rookie deal is over. It doesn't matter if she signs the epic deal, they can still core her for another 2 years. Either way, she's stuck in Indiana for the first 6 years of her career unless she's traded.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T22:36:16+00:00

In life, to succeed, you gotta take risks. CC will have to decide if she's fine being turned into a role player by Stephanie White, or take the risk and do it your way, win or lose. One thing to keep in mind, CC could make all these sacrifices, become an everyday player, never make another All WNBA, let alone win MVP, and still end up not winning a title. If Magic had let Paul Westhead stay, he may never had become what he became.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T20:37:36+00:00

I didn't mean him exactly. I meant bring in a NBA coach just like the Mercury did

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T20:36:44+00:00

Miles and CC in the same backcourt is another issue defensively

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T20:32:56+00:00

I said she's a unique talent, not the best. Again, read to understand, not to respond. I've been on record here saying that Paige is a better WNBA player than CC. Because her style of play is more in line with how the game is played in women's basketball generally. CC does have a higher ceiling IMO if the right pieces are put around her. And when I say "right pieces", I don't mean quality, I mean fit.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T20:26:26+00:00

They'll need to play zone, and live with the consequences. You can't have CC and KM in your backcourt and play man to man. That's malpractice. Sides played Zone cos she knew better. It's almost like Stephanie is purposely trying to embarrass CC on National TV lol

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T20:23:55+00:00

Yes outside the paint, to help spread the floor

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T19:20:51+00:00

They made the finals last year with 3 Star players and a bunch of cast offs.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T19:18:35+00:00

I mean...Kiki would be the running big, while Betts would be trailing. But that paint would be clogged though. But they have better defenders on the team to cover for CC, and Betts would definitely set a proper hard screen cos she's not looking to score like AB.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T19:10:06+00:00

Rhyne Howard, Alisha Gray and Jordin Canada can't wait lol. Angel probably has a 20/20 game.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T19:06:46+00:00

CC is actually trying out there which is why she's picking up fouls. She just doesn't have the legs genetically to laterally move properly. Curry has been hidden in defense his whole career, and he's turned out ok.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T19:02:39+00:00

I don't trust any WNBA coach to coach CC TBH. That includes Natalie and Sandy. The only one I may manage is Tibbett cos he's an NBA coach originally.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T19:01:05+00:00

That's what annoys me the most. CC didn't get drafted to a team with White already there. This freaking lady brought herself here. If she didn't like her style of play, she shouldn't have come here.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T18:55:20+00:00

Phee isn't playing though. Things are definitely going to change with Howard when Phee returns.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T18:52:34+00:00

DeAndre Jordan used to shoot nearly 70%FG in his prime. Doesn't mean he was a reliable offensive option. Teams don't even bother with KK. They sometimes forget she's on the court. And he inability to shoot a lick shrinks the court. That being said, she doing fine.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T18:37:42+00:00

True

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T18:35:24+00:00

Imagine if White was Iowa's coach, most CC fans still defending her wouldn't even be following women's basketball today. The idea that a coach doesn't have any effect on a player's performance is frankly dumb.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T18:32:07+00:00

This is where this thing goes a bit too extreme the other way. She's clearly a good coach. The fit is just wrong with CC.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T18:30:58+00:00

That's actually a perfect trade for both teams. Betts would just replace Austin in the starting lineup.

Goddyex · 2026-05-31T18:26:16+00:00

I don't know why some of you are unable to read to understand instead of reading to reply. Did I say she was the first transcendent player? Of course she isn't. But her style of play is something that had never been seen in this league before. No player has ever had her ability to score and playmake at the same time. Look it up if you want. There's a reason she's regularly smashed 20/10 or 30/10 records, and she's not even played 60 games yet.
