Message: [QUOTE="FanInNC, post: 4883420, member: 13050"] Utsby is a player every team needs. The negative vibes about her are because she never has developed any sort of offense. She can’t shoot. Her shot has not improved - in fact she doesn’t even try 3s any more. She was never a big threat from 3 but attempted 125 in her first 3 years for Chapel Hill making them around 30%. This year she is 0-6. Idk if that’s Banghart telling her not to shoot that again or her just taking it upon herself not to. But a little odd. She’s also a career 57% FT shooter. But she does everything else other than shoot it. Defense. Rebound. Blocks. Steals. Assists. She essentially averages a double double. I’d love a player like that on my team. I think she just gets banged on because she never progressed as a scorer/shooter and it’s magnified because Chapel Hill really lacks that. Kelly is that player for them but she’s not efficient and takes too many shots. They really need more offensive fire power and that’s just not who Utsby is - but it’s lacking on the team so I think maybe she becomes a scapegoat at times. Fans trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Or hey, maybe we should scrutinize banghart a little here and wonder why she hasn’t been able to develop Utsby or Kelly into more efficient offensive players over the last 4 years. ;) [/QUOTE]
