Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4970520, member: 12088"] I’m one of those everyones, so I can explain a little. First, I don’t think she’ll dominate in[B] November[/B]. There will be a learning curve. But I think there’s a few mitigating factors that might help her out. [LIST=1] [*]She’s a little older [*]She’s fierce [*]She has a skill set that might take some pressure off: good handles, good perimeter shot [*]She will be supported by a backcourt with a bunch of scoring options [*]The perimeter shooting depth on the team will mean she won’t face a lot of double-teams. [/LIST] All that said, I imagine the game won’t “slow down” for her until later in the season. I expect early on she’ll struggle with fouls, with defensive assignments and with confidence scoring. Plus thinking about her skill set might suggest why she may find her way. She runs the floor very well and has good handles. Like Aaliyah, she can take a steal the length of the floor and score on the break. Add in her perimeter and midrange shot should make it hard to defend her one on one What will slow her down is learning Geno’s defense. This is the challenge for all new players but especially for post players. In her favor, she’s been in practices for more than a year already. She’s not starting from scratch. Unless Geno finds another big in the portal, I expect he’ll give her a lot of minutes starting in November. Getting her up to speed will be a priority. 20+mins/g seems likely to me. [/QUOTE]
