Back to the title TOPIC: Destiny absolutely, and nearly single-handedly got the Beavs back in the game in the 2nd Q on Sunday.
From what I’ve observed, the Beavs have two (maybe 3) players who can take over a game and carry the team on their shoulders:
Obviously, Destiny; Aleah, when she starts stroking NBA 3 pointers: and maybe Mik, in her own gritty way.
Any diminishing, or derogatory observations about the contributions of either of those three players, is pure Mierda.

"Gary Payton ... not great player" Thanks Judge, now he's probably going to hunt me down and demand his autograph back.
Women is what I'm talking about, not men, dogs, cats, kangaroos, or any other types except WOMEN!
Basketball, not volleyball, tennis, swimming or other sports. Only BASKETBALL.
American college sports. Not High School greats, Professional greats, or Lithuanian gold medalists. At least three years in an American college.
And now to math. Women's college basketball has had a national champion for less than 50 years, but lets round up to that. And I said 5-10 year great, but lets say just 5 year great. That gives us generously ten "greats" total. Out of your list of "greats" Stiles did show up as #10 on one list, so I humbly admit that by my extremely generous accounting you are right and there is indeed one great who did not win a National Championship. All bow to the most knowledgeable Trollmaster Yoda.

Bottom line Graves basically has two to run the show and they both play extra unneeded minutes.
You got that right, no question. Which is why three (?) guards from last year's team either transferred, or returned home to turn pro. They just didn't play, even when there was ample opportunity in blowouts.
When minutes are available for subs, use them to keep the subs happy, and for development. Corzola is gone after this season, and SI might be, and there's nothing close to comparable in the pipeline to take their place.

Two were 4's with the ability to play the 5. McGuire and Anniele (sorry about my crappy spelling) are going to be missed down the stretch.

Corzola is gone after this season, and SI might be, and there's nothing close to comparable in the pipeline to take their place. One was a guard who returned to her country to play professionally. Two were forwards and one was a post. Keep in mind that for most of the season Oregon has only had three guards due to the back injury to Morgan Yeager. So for most of the season either Cazorla or Ionescu had to be on the floor. Yeager has just started playing again and as a result Ionescu and Cazorla’s minutes have gone down in blowouts. |

Aina Ayuso and Anneli Maley were freshmen guards who transferred or left school.

Aina Ayuso and Anneli Maley were freshmen guards who transferred or left school. Anneli Maley was not a guard and had virtually no offensive skills. She transferred because her playing time would have been dramatically reduced the next year. Ayusu left school to accept a professional contract in her home country of Spain. |

But what do they know. goducks.com/roster.aspx?roster=231&path=wbballI know the roster listed her as a guard but she never played as either the 1 or 2 position. She always played as a 3. When she was in the game there were always two GUARDS in the game. If you need more clarity on her skills research what she’s done since she transferred. |

Not doubting you, I don't follow uo basketball. The website listed her as a guard, so I figured they knew what they were talking about. Since they are ducks, guess I should have figured they didn't!

Full transparency. I’m a two time beaver...undergraduate in ‘80 and masters in ‘83. My wife is a Duck and a former student athlete. My daughter also got her graduate degree at Oregon so we are a ‘mixed’ household. During the conference season when the Oregon schools are playing at home we compromise and try to go to one Oregon game and one Oregon State game. So, I’m a fan of both teams but mostly the Beavers. My wife is the reverse. But, having watched a lot of both teams as well as most of the other top women’s basketball teams in the country, the two most entertaining teams to watch in the country right now are in Oregon and the home and home series will be great fun to watch. That is great for fans of the game in this state. Go Beavers! |

If you need more clarity on her skills research what she’s done since she transferred. I do not think that Oregon State has played a lineup without what was consider 3 guards this year, last year or the year before. The same would be said for almost any women's college basketball team that I have watched. When you say that someone plays the 3, I would automatically think of that player as a guard. It is just how the game is usually played these days. So, basically you say she is a 3 and I think to myself she is a guard just like Pivec, McWilliams, or Tudor. |

Most traditional "authorities" still define the 3 as the "small forward" (and as one of 2 "wings" on a team, the other wing being the shooting guard, ie. the 2 position) but this is changing and the 3 is trending toward becoming or has become a hybrid guard/small forward position  . The semantics for the 3 position are debatable, because "wings" are also defined by some simply as guards with no reference to "small forward". |

We have listed Maddie as a Guard, meaning we start 5 guards at times. The 1-5 definitions have kind of been thrown out the window |

Can you imagine the little "i" cheering her team on in a similar situation  Yes. Anybody that watches them play has seen it many times. The ‘i’ hatred on this board in nonsensical. wrong. See her attention-hogging 3-point shot from the bench that earned her a technical against PSU. |
