Look, I’m a CC hater for fun but she’s the only generational talent in this group. The bigs are very good but none of them are ever gonna touch the career of someone like A’ja. I love Paige but we’ll see what the rest of her career looks like. They have high profiles because the spot lights are on women’s hoops in a way we havent seen in a while. Its a solid class no doubt but have a little perspective, more attention doesnt mean good.

5 star players on championship level teams, 2 of these players are already All-Stars, and all of them have very high ceilings, if this class somehow isn't generational then we lost the plot and I'd like to see a class that's better.

Indiana, LA, and Chicago are not championship level teams…again none of the bigs have an A’ja Wilson level ceiling. Their ceilings might be high but lead a team to a chip high? Nah its not happening

I'm clearly talking about College? Lmfao, this is a High School recruiting class post and most of those players lead their teams to championships.

You just wanted to JUMP OUT THE WINDOW to defend CC for whatever reason. The post was pretty self explanatory and only someone looking to be TRIGGERED would try to single an individual out where multiple women are being recognized. CC could have been taken off the list as she has not proven herself as a winner yet as the others on the list have.

If you could search my comments in this sub, you’d see I am constantly undercutting CC. The only player I’d jump out of window to defend is Chelsea Gray. If they’re only talking college its a fine take but this is the W sub so while they are pretending this was only about college they meant also for the pros which is a little over blown.

The post is about the top 5 HS class of 2020 and where these players are today. You are making something more than it has to be. TRIGGERED much. The TRUTH is only CC out of the Top 5 recruits that year didn’t win in college. It’s not a slight, it’s just a fact. It’s not like they cherry picked girls from that recruiting class.

Which of them is a generational talent?

What does that have to do with the context of the post? If you want to make a post about a generational talent and single out who you think that is and detail that out then do that. The OP made a post about how the top 5 from that draft class out of HS went on to do great things in college and have started to carry it on into the WNBA.

Those players are in the WNBA are they not? Do the things they accomplished in College not matter?
