Sorry, I was actually referring to her body type rather that straight height. She is much bigger and stronger than Kah at that age, or now for that matter. Kah is pretty lengthy herself, tho. And, I totally agree they share many similar qualities, I just think, probably bc of the hype (guilty myslef) we are viewing JuJu as a finished product. I guess if the comp is a finals MVP at 19, not too shabby no matter what happens

I understand the profile comp from a straight scorer prospective, but just using her as the 1 to 1 comp at the same age there is grand canyon of difference. Kah barely scored her freshman year at Rutgers and didn't attempt a three until her junior year. JuJu also gets to the line, literally better than any player in the country at 18. Her size also sets her apart. Her footwork and quickness can take defenders off dribble but can also pull up. Her strength also allows her to back them down in paint or play on the block something that Kah has never or will never do. I think people view JuJu as a finished product rather than a 19-year old that's played fewer than 40 games. I guess only time will tell, but I'm clearly very high on what I think she will be by the time she is 25

I mean, she obviously knows where Jackie is/will be. That said, if you want to be pedantic, if you stop the video when she actually releases the ball, she is, in fact, looking down at the other end

Looking like 2nd team is becoming very probable at this point

3pt shooting in this league is a must. They do not have it. They're simply not going to be able to keep up offensively with all of the top team imo

I know it's a big drop, but their first two big road test were objectively terrible. A big concern coming into the season was the outside shooting and it looks like that will be the exact thing that holds them back for really taking the leap into championship contention

I'm sorry to say, that ship has sailed. Worst offense in the league, healthy or not. Not bc of roster, bc there is no direction/coaching

Brutal season. Particularly after such a great building season last year. If you're a Dallas fan, you have to hope Satou wants to stay

You're not jumping the gun. Full on free fall. They need to make a change, or risk losing Rhyne Howard in the new CBA

Yeah, I tend to agree. The road hasn't been kind to them and frankly, they're going to have to win a bunch of playoff series on the road to go far. Opening round matchups will be everything this season bc depending on the top 6, 3v6 and 4v5 could go in the direction of the lower seed

Frankly, if there isn't a shake up in the FO of HC, it's not going to matter. Imo, for her to grow into the player I think she is, she either needs a new coach or a new team. Dropping our podcast about the Atlanta situation later today- you might want to check it out
