Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4026604, member: 26"] I was impressed with most of the players who played. There were definitely players who scored more than others, but watching them, it was Betts, Citron, Fudd, Paopao, Johnson and Spear who stood out. Clark had a poor shooting game. Betts reminds me a lot of Olivia. Taller, of course. But slender. Moves well and has a good nose for the ball, but it will be interesting to see how she plays against bigs with beef. Citron never met a shot she didn't like. Mabry reincarnated for ND, but she will be good. Fudd is just incredible. She's effortless. Her 3 point shots are so smooth, and she had one great play where she took a pass at the 3 point line, used her quickness and speed to fake out the defender, drove like she was going to the basket, stopped on a dime and SWISH pull up jumper hits. DeBerry - I agree she needs some work. I don't expect to see much of her, not because she won't be good (or won't improve), but because at her position we have Olivia, Aaliyah and Dorka, not to mention Aubrey and Mir. I will be fascinated to see how she compares with Piath this season. Anyway, she is fairly athletic, moves well, had a nice catch and rotate for a left handed layup. But IMHO she needs to work on a few things. Mainly being stronger in the post. I did not see her effectively seal off her defender. She needs to be a stronger target. She needs to move better without the ball (ie. with purpose - just ask freshman Maya Moore how Geno felt about her movement without the ball her freshman year). On defense, she needs to move her feet better. She got beat on one play by a smaller player for not moving her feet, then committed a foul over the back/top as the kid from Italy made a layup. Still, lots of potential for her. She has some good things to work with. I disagree with anyone who thinks we won't see her because she has no potential. I think we won't see her because we are stacked with potential AA's and HM's at the positions she plays (Mir and Aubrey not potential HM's, but maybe they would be on a team with less depth and talent)...
