I just don't really get having Gardener and Brown. It's like when they had Dugalic and Barker
I don’t think they’re overly similar players, especially not knowing Gardiner’s form after missing the season. She largely shot threes her first season at UCLA and was much more than that at Oregon State, so whether they utilize her as more than a difficult shot to block will be interesting.
Brown reminds me a lot of Maggie Doogan, a unicorn style who can do it all but with some athleticism and size limitations (relatively speaking). She’s an excellent facilitator so they should have a lot of options.
Honestly the piece I’m most intrigued by is whether Sienna Betts gets buried a bit as a focal point.
