Megan Gustafson waived


If Nikola Jokic can become first-team all NBA with a frame and athletic profile that doesn't fit what people expect from successful NBA players in 2019, then Megan Gustafson has the ability to eventually stick with a WNBA team while facing some of the same perceived limitations. Better?

Jokic is 7'0". If Megan was 6'7" that comparison might make sense.
 
+1 just like the Heisman winner isn't always the best college player and certainly isn't always the best pro prospect.

Holy shit... a solid analogy on the internet.

Lol. Your reading comprehension isn't so good. Candice is an outlier. She's a bit nutty. Trust me on this. I work for the league. And your own linked articles make it pretty clear she's full of shit. Maybe read them more carefully?
I looked over the articles and supplied them so as to show a different side to what Wiggins was proclaiming. I merely posed a question and offered an alternate reason why she could have been cut. The Guardian offered refutation to Candace's accusations; however, the NY Post article and a similar one from the Guardian did not offer a refute to the accusations. I personally do not watch women's basketball- whether it is the NCAA or WNBA. Don't get me wrong, what Megan accomplished this year, in an Iowa uniform, was outstanding and brought much positive attention to the University of Iowa. We were lucky that Megan was a Lady Hawkeye.

No. The limitations aren't perceived. They are actual. Have you seen Jokic play? He's amazing.

Have you seen Meghan play against WNBA players? I bet the people that cut her have.

Maybe cutting her was unwarranted. I kind of doubt it though.
 
The Russians are big into women's basketball. In fact, a couple of years ago the several of the WNBA star's contracts were bought up and the stars skipped the WNBA season to stay in Russia.

Is Megan a lesbian? From what I have read, the WNBA is like 98% lesbian and those that are not lesbians find it tough on the court and the locker room.

While I'm sure that's true to some extent I take that all with a grain of salt... By that ridiculous math that would mean there are literally 2 other straight women in the entire league besides herself. Maybe other players just didn't like her?

College doesn't equate to professional. As I recall, plenty of people and awards seemed to think she was the best college player in America last year.
 
Great college players can't always play at the highest professional level. Happens with the men all the time. I'm sure she could stick with the right team but the right team has to want her.

WNBA is a small league (in terms of number of teams). So making a roster is difficult. Doesn't lessen anything for her college career, but people that think there is some grand conspiracy to not have her in the WNBA are not seeing reality. The people running the WNBA teams are paid to be as good as possible. It's possible that all of them are wrong in terms of her ability to help an WNBA team, but that is doubtful.

Or did they think she had the best season?
If an MVP award existed, she definitely would be number one. No team relied on one player more. On most other teams, she wouldn’t have been relied on as much, wouldn’t have had the same stats, and wouldn’t have received the same recognition. She was a lot of fun to watch.

No doubt but an award as POTY, of which she won a few?, is irrelevant when you turn pro.
 
The Dallas Alumni club had just arranged group tickets to a game. I doubt the tickets have been paid for yet, so that's good.

I agree with everything you wrote.

Other than a few elite teams, I'm pretty sure that Megan would have been relied on just as much as she was at Iowa.

does anybody?
Yes, and those who do knew right away that Megan did not stand a reasonable chance of ever contributing in that league. I'll leave the reasons why alone, since it'd start a verbal war lol.
 
I'm old enough to remember the good old 6 on 6 days of girls high school basketball.

When I watched Megan, that's what I thought of - I thought of all those point machines back in the day that would get the ball on the block and be unstoppable.

In the same way a lot of those girls couldn't transition to 5x5 women's college ball, I didn't really see Megan transitioning to the WNBA.

Take nothing away from her though, by all accounts she's a great person with a hell of a work ethic and she helped bring Iowa back to a bit of national relevance not seen since V Stringer days.
 
Can you imagine her average points per game in six on six? I believe a couple Iowa girls scored over 100 points in a game, and she might have had multiple ones. Thank goodness though for five on five.

some team or teams should take a hard look at their product in terms of what they project. A player like Megan with her personality is exactly what is needed to generate some interest in a team. As it is now it is a who cares league so to keep it alive you need a little something to get you interested.

Sorry, but teams don't keep players "just to generate interest in a team." They keep players who can help them win. The Dallas Wings fanbase by and large doesn't know who she is and just keeping her on the roster won't help them win games if they believe there are better players.

The WNBA will likely never have anywhere near the interest of the NBA, as the NBA literally has the best players in the world playing the game (men or women). People tend to want to play more and attend games where the very best players are playing. But within the WNBA, each team is trying to win the most games possible.

you are right. Probably why they have as much interest as an 8th grade girls basketball team. I don't know that Dallas was a good fit but a team in the midwest might want to take a flyer. Either way all I am saying is that league has no interest so trying to garner some would surely help it out.

ya your right like you know every thing. Oh ya you do jerkweed. I am saying the women's game needs more interest or they are just sucking the NBA for whatever they can to hang on. Get some players that fans can get behind and root for as the face of the team. Does Megan have to prove her worth? Yes she does but not all 12 spots are going to get playing time. Guess that's why they pay so great because of the great following.

Lol. Your reading comprehension isn't so good. Candice is an outlier. She's a bit nutty. Trust me on this. I work for the league. And your own linked articles make it pretty clear she's full of shit. Maybe read them more carefully?

You work for the WNBA!?

Bahahahahahahahahaha!

Hahahahahaha!
 
I do, yes. You should go to a game. It’s a good product. You wouldn’t even have to tell anybody. You know, protect that fragile identity of yours.

Nah, if i wanted to see that level of skill I would go to the local high school gym.

Does it bother the women in the league the fact that the only reason the league exists is because of men?

That must sting a little bit.
