Message: [QUOTE="WBBTakeover, post: 5057924, member: 13257"] But Sabrina's defense is even worse than Plum's because of her slow feet! Whatever benefits she brings offensively during this tournament (and she didn't bring three-point shooting in this game) have been nullified by her lack of defense. She also got blown by during her stint on the court (and committed an untimely foul that led to FTs for France). Also, she does not possess an air-tight handle, so she is just as prone to turnovers against an aggressive French defense as the other guards. I do not advocate for Plum to be a PG--full-time or part-time. All I'm saying here is that she was one of the reasons why Team USA was able to pull off the victory yesterday while Sabrina played a much smaller role (she made a play here and there but was overall not much of a factor from a positive standpoint). And given Sabrina's shortcomings, I don't think she would've made enough of a difference offensively to overcome what she lacks defensively. It was a bad match-up for her. What makes you think that A'ja, who's still on the upswing in her transcendent career, will somehow be on the decline at just 32???? Because Stewie may be (and who said that she would be on the decline, either? Maybe a new WNBA team would do her wonders)? They're not the same player. And it's unlikely that Cheryl Reeve will be the coach in 2028 given that most Team USA coaches get one cycle. Also, I'm confident that there will be plenty of offensive support to complement A'ja and Stewie in 2028 because the next coach will likely bring along an assistant who can coach offense (did you look at the staff Reeve put together? None of those coaches are offensive gurus). [/QUOTE]
