This seems like a very odd choice for a one-year player.

Post Reply Return to McGraw's Bench

Two years at Illinois and then two years at Alabama. She lead the team in minutes played last year at 1,066, she took more than 100 more three pointers than Hannah (who lead ND in three-point attempts) and was third in the country at 259. She is a great three-point shooter making 41.7% last year and >45% the year before and never in her career less than 35%.

She is not a great 2-point or FT shooter, doesn't rebound all that much, A:TO < 1.0. Maybe, as others have speculated, there is concern that Emma and Cassandre may be limited still this upcoming season.

And she is a 6' guard. Emma will need this season to really

get her feet wet. I like this pick a lot.

It could make perfect sense.

She very well see her future in the pro level as a 3 and D specialist off the bench. Showcasing yourself as a volume shooter doesn't particularly help if that's not her position in the WNBA.

If she's looking to make that change, add an ND grad degree and pursue a national championship, then it would certainly fit a need for ND if there are any questions as to whether Emma is ready/healthy.
