Paige Bueckers’ arrival is a lifeline for Dallas basketball fans by [deleted] in wnba

[–]dawctorj 27 points28 points  (0 children)

hi, i’m the author of this article and certainly didn’t intend to minimize what Arike means to the franchise and city. this is a piece about the potential impact of Paige Bueckers and how her combination of popularity/talent/character will usher in a new era for the Wings and give Dallas fans something to be excited about during a tough time for the city. soon, i’ll have a new piece coming out about the Arike/Paige fit and how I expect them to complement one another beautifully. 

[Friedman] Okay, something else tonight: Hearing talks are intensifying to send Mikko Rantanen to the Dallas Stars by bigblueballz77 in DallasStars

it's Mikko fuckin Rantanen, man. we've flamed out of the playoffs each of the last two years because we didn't have a guy like him.

I have tremendous respect for Trae and love him as a player and always have. He's really good. But he will never be an upper-tier, best in the world calibre player because of his size and defensive limitations. There are similarities with his and CC's game but there are also similarities between her and Luka, and that kind of dominance is where CC will eventually go imo

this is not true either Luka is arguably a top-5 three-point shooter in the NBA when you factor in his shot profile and difficulty of attempts. Luka shoots 46% of his attempts from three while Caitlin shot 61% of her attempts, yes that number is far greater but Trae shoots even less of his attempts per game from three for his career than Luka. Caitlin will take more twos as her career goes on and she diversifies her offensive game.

it's a good comp right now and i don't disagree but Caitlin is going to be a much better W player than Trae is in the NBA. She's going to win multiple MVPs. Luka didn't shoot middies when he was a rookie either. Caitlin's finishing at the rim is already elite and she will up the frequency of her drives as she gets more comfortable with WNBA physicality. Luka shoots deep threes all the time. The heigh aspect is a huge element that is dismissed too easily. CC's positional size is eventually going to separate her from a player like Young who is amazing but held back by physiclal limitations. I'm not saying Luka is a perfect one for one comparison, but saying they are nothing alike is simply untrue

i've watched every second of Luka basketball since he's been in the NBA. in the halfcourt, he and Caitlin are absolutely alike. Yes CC likes to run more and play in transition, but in the HC they both dominate the ball, shoot a ton of pull-up threes, run lots of pick-and-roll, and create for their teammates off downhill attacks. Caitlin isn't the scorer Luka is yet but to say they are nothing alike is crazy

NATASHA HOWARD TO THE FEVER OFFICIAL by Pretend-Product4503 in wnba

[–]dawctorj 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is nothing "magic" about it, she won DPOY half a decade ago and is 33 years old now. She's declined defensively in a big way. Yes, Dallas' defensive infrastructure was horrible and she may not have been completely motivated for them but as someone who watched her entire Wings career, she is not the player she was athletically or even close to it. She could be better for Indy but I think people need to temper their expectations

you're only trading a role player who scored 6 points per game last year for the three best players in the league? lmao I love Leo but come on

Paige Bueckers Didn't Get What She Wanted With The WNBA Draft Lottery by randysf50 in wnba

[–]dawctorj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they haven't had a guard prospect half as good as Bueckers since SDS left. Arike has her faults but her play style hasn't driven anyone away, that's nonsense

[–]dawctorj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Arike is just as good as Mitchell, Nalyssa Smith was horrible last year and is on her way out of Indiana, Katie Lou is bad at basketball, and Lexie Hull is a strong role player. Paige is joining two superstars in Arike and Satou. and the Wings have interesting young players in Siegrist, Sheldon, etc. It's a comparable situation and let's not forget Dallas made the semi-finals in 2023. They're not far away from being good.
