In reply to: Just my opinion posted by mwayne

what I believe Woliczko could be thinking. Many young players these days want/expect to come into a situation and get going at what they do best. I've got absolutely no evidence for this save for watching them play.

Do I think there are differences between the two players? Yup. Do I think there are similarities? Yes.
Macy, to me, has more of a traditional "4" feel, but in the same way Maddy Westbeld does. Outside-in, as Maddy describes it.
Woliczko can do a number of things all over the court. Defensively and off-ball she strikes me as being a smoother version of Emily Engstler; seemingly intuitive, but the brain is working just as often as the legs and arms. The athletic ability, aggressiveness are familiar. Offensively, throw in a bit of Haley Jones (also at Archbishop Mitty and early Stanford) with the court awareness and working with teammates. But Woliczko shoots better (good thing)!

As noted, I think both can play together...now, let's see if Ms. W wants to join Ms. Macy in South Bend. Or at least come visit.
However, I could see them thinking they do a lot of the same things and could crimp each other's style (see Baba's post)....perhaps.
(On the other hand, they could dig each other's style and want to play together....)

They're both very good players and I'm awfully glad the Irish have one of them. Would love the other, too.
