What skills do you feel you still need to improve or work on at the next level?
James: My handles, a little.
Turner: My ball handling. I played with my back to the basket in college, so I'll work more on that. I also want to become a more consistent 3-point shooter. Those are the two biggest factors I need to improve on to be successful in the league. Once I start to work on it, I'm confident I'll be successful.

What do you expect to be some of the biggest challenges or adjustments at the next level?
Turner: The speed of the game and the physicality ot it. I think the adjustment going from high school to college will be similar in going from college to the pros. Playing against players Catchings, Swoopes and Tina Thompson, I think I'll be in awe. I grew up watching them and want to be like them.
James: These are bigger, stronger players. I wouldn't say it's a challenge, but you have to be a role player before being a star in the WNBA. I just want to win.

Is there a current WNBA player you model your game after or look up to?
James: I really like Nikki Teasley's game.
Turner: Tamika Catchings. She is relentless. When you mention her name, you immediately think of the work ethic and how she has worked to develop her game. So I'd say I model my game after her because she gives 110% percent and is the face of the franchise.

So now that all is said and done, what will you remember most about your college experience?
Turner: I will remember the relationships with my teammates and the coaching staff. Of course, I will also remember how much fun it was to win two National Championships and experience it at Connecticut. The fans were also amazing, and I will always remember and appreciate them.
James: I will recall the fact that I got to play in two conferences and with two coaches. The support of my family meant a lot to me.

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?
Turner: Nice guys finish last. Play mean and fierce. Keep it in baclk of mind - trainer back in Cleveland - Melvin burt. Live by that motto - helped me have work ethic.
James: A quote from the bible.

What WNBA player are you most looking forward to playing against or meeting?
James: It doesn't matter to me. I just want to play.
Turner: I am looking forward to playing with Sue Bird since we were nevert teammates in college.

What type of profession or field would you be interested in pursuing after your career?
James: I majored in theater, so perhaps being on a sit com or in a movie. I 've always been a dramatic person and my parents always said I'm going to Hollywood. I love TV and would enjoy doing something in entertainment
Turner: I would like to pursue a degree in law. My aunt is a prosecutor who has recently passed the bar, so I can work with her in the offseason and attend school.
