….Miss is just shocking to me. These are the best basketball players in the world playing in a very “un-congested” lane and still throwing it over the basket 🤦♀️
Unrivaled: The amount of layups these women…
- Thread starter cmhawks99
- Start date
I enjoyed the league and the games, I’m just shocked how many layups they missed
Women’s basketball at all levels is a tough watch at times! CC balled out and made it fun to see plays that many have never seen from another player of her gender! Missed layups is a lack of execution and free throws just a lack of focus and wanting to win! JJ needs time to get her players in but she’s not off to a very good start and this team needs immediate help at all positions next season!
The men's misses happen more than a person would think too.
Pretty good game for Kate
12 points and 10 rebounds
When fans whine about the struggle this year’s team is having, watch Kate Martin. Iowa did not just lose the GOAT, but Martin’s very talented. She looked very good today playing for a talented team.
According to this the average salary is a little more than $220k. So even if Kate is below average she's probably making double her WNBA salary.

The average salary will reportedly be north of $200,000, and it apparently took much more than that to lure the Liberty star.

They also get some type of equity in the league, which if this league takes off could be quite profitableAccording to this the average salary is a little more than $220k. So even if Kate is below average she's probably making double her WNBA salary.

Money Martin was money in several games during the NCAA tourney run. Her turnaround fade way jumpers in both the LSU game and UConn game were key in keeping the other team at a distance.
Those two games got Kate drafted.
+Huge pressure 3s in the BTC vs. Nebraska.
I heard that Lexi Hull has hardly seen the floor in the first two games with her team the Rose BC. There are a few different views as to why she hasn't seen much floor time. One is that she's on the wrong team, meaning she struggles to create her own shot. Another is that they might just be using her as a backup in case someone is injured. Another is that the coach is underappreciating her defensive capabilities. And of course, some are saying that she was just used as bait to get Clark into that league, and now there's no real need for her. Not sure if players can quit or be traded, but if this continues, maybe she should try to get moved or something else. I don't know. If anyone has an idea of why she's riding pine so much, I'd like to know. If she can get out of the league, then she can maybe focus on her offense and shot creation before next season. I also understand that she has just launched her own beauty brand with a company, so that's good news.

Will be. Last year the average was $130,000. Going up because of who hit the league last season and new TV moneyAccording to this the average salary is a little more than $220k. So even if Kate is below average she's probably making double her WNBA salary.

Lexi really isn't that good, and shouldn't be starting for the Fever so I am not surprised. She had one good month shooting the 3 for Indiana but her first 2 years she shot 20% from 3, and was shooting similar to that this year until she went scorched earth for a month.
That's why I said this:
"If she can get out of the league, then she can maybe focus on her offense and shot creation before next season."
She's already a good defender. She's wasting valuable time when she can improve on the offensive side.
Certainly looks like Unrivaled is going to boost Kate Martin's playing profile, so however that opportunity came about, she's using it well. Playing alongside the all-stars and contributing like she belongs. Great off-season for her in every regard, I think.
Woody poked a couple of eyeballs back in the day, but I still don't believe there was intent. Carrington, on the other hand, I believe did have intent. And she's still finding ways to show it.
She’s “ok” meaning serviceable and belongs in the league but she is not a star. We are seeing 1st hand with Iow how much better CC truly makes people
I totally agree that Clark makes others better, but I never said that Lexi is a star. Lexi should be able to improve her offensive skill in the off-season. She has potential to be a good three and D. Catch and shoot, of course.
Going against NFL playoffs and the Natty definitely hurt them. It will be interesting to see what the audience is once football is done
I don’t really see casual people sticking with it. It’s not great basketball.
And along with that, I watched the first half of a game between the Laces and some other team that I don't remember. Got through the half, but I couldn't muster up the energy to catch the 2nd half.
I actually like it, and I’ve watched all the games on my laptop while doing or watching other things. But…. Again with the dramatic amount of missed layups. These are the best women in the world & although I’ve gotten used to it & the playing under the rim vs over it, is truly a thing that needs to be considered. But for those of you that haven’t been watching, it is shocking, I mean shocking the amount of uncontested point blank, layups they miss.
Courtney Van Sloot sandwiched missed layups where she was completely alone one on a breakaway steal around multiple other people missing layups. Satou has not looked good, Sabrina has been meh. In fact, the girls that have been playing great Tiffany Hayes, Ryne Howard, Derica Hamby aren’t needle movers.
Now there has been some chippiness which I would think might help ratings and Naphees Collier and Kayla McBride are phenomenal, basketball players and great in this format.
But they too aren’t tuning people in?!

From the limited time I watched, I thought Hamby looked really good.
Ten minute highlight vids of the games on YT . Seems enough. Much rather watch actual games like Texas /Tennessee last night, TCU/OkSt the other night. I think it's just the 3x3 thing that lacks any weight.
I watched the first games and am looking forward to the next ones. Three things. I enjoy fast break type games. I like that the area in and around the paint area is not all jammed up. I like that players like Kate Martin that don't make tons of money like others, have a chance to pick up a pretty nice salary for just playing a few games. I hope the league can make it over the years ahead.
If making it financially over the years involves Caitlin being involved, they might want to eject/suspend players like Carrington who whacked Kate Martin in the head on a layup, to send a message that is not what the league is about. This is supposed to be an entertaining gap filler for the women to make some coin for themselves and the league and elevate their personal brands. If I'm Caitlin I wouldn't touch the league with a 10 foot pole until people understand that the brand people do not want to watch is 80s/90s NBA slugfest ball.
her team was getting blown out and because she scored 2 points on 1-10 shooting from the field.And then you have characters like this one defending Kate.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
Carrington is a good player, maybe even better than good, but I have a hard time understanding why she feels the need to play the way she does sometimes.
She annoys me. She always has that smug shitty look on her face to match her shitty style of play. She is good though. I just don't care to watch it.
