Message: [QUOTE="Inthepaint, post: 4070259, member: 11386"] With most of the attention focused elsewhere, we seem to overlook "E's" leadership role. She, more than anyone else, took Geno's "Rule #1- if your shots aren't falling, find something else to contribute to the team"-to heart. When Evina was on-maybe cause she was feeling good physically-she was really harassing on defense, coming out of the scrum under the glass with the ball, getting the ball down the court in a big hurry. But, even after her shots were falling, she kept it up. I like how she worked with the freshmen at the end of some of the blowout games. Sort of like an assistant coach, only on the court and in uniform. Although she was unavailable to play in 2019-2020, she must have soaked up some irreplaceable experience watching and learning. It showed. I see her starting this year, but maybe with fewer overall minutes as some of the"youngsters" pick up where she left off. But look for her to be out there at crunch time in the non-conference games and the tourneys. [/QUOTE]
