Shimmel was not that impressive but I disagree about Sabally

She's a specimen. Ultra athletic. She's a beast already and still has such a high ceiling. I would probably trade her for most people on the ND roster from 2017-2019 if I wasn't emotionally attached to our players.

So Oregon deserved 2 players off their team and ND 0?

Maybe Sabally will be all you said and you can talk about upside (the reason Jackie was drafted #1), but this was about college players/college careers not about "potential".

I don't see anyway you can rate Sabally ahead of Arike. Just by career stats:
Points per game: Arike 17.6 / Sabally 14.4
Rebounds per game: Arike 4.6 / Sabally 5.6
Assists per game: Arike 2.4 / Sabally 2.0
Steals per game: Arike 1.3 / Sabally 1.1
Assist/turnover ratio: Arike 1.3 / Sabally 1.1

Then you add winning one National Championship, playing in two, having the game winning shot in 2 Final Four games back to back.

And as I said, this was supposed to be about what they did in collage, but Arike has also shown she can do it in the WNBA.

And all 5 starters on that 2018/2019 team were better in college than Shoni Shimmel. I just made an argument for Arike over Sabally, there is a pretty good argument for Jackie and Jess too
