No time for decisions based on merit right now.........If you remember Ducharme looked like a deer in the headlights when she played early last season..........it wasn't until Geno was forced to play her that she blossomed.........unfortunately she hasn't been the same player since her various injuries and she's scuffling right now.......I'm not sure if her play is being affected by physical issues or a lack of confidence or both but she needs to play her way out of it if she's healthy enough to go........it's all hands on deck.....
Not all kids learn to swim when thrown into the pool. Those that do swim earlier. Better? some.
Caroline, last year was pretty certain of her abilities and her health. As you state, after injuries, she isn't quite so sure of her body doing what her brain decides. She passed at least a dozen shots she would have take last year.
EDIT. That hip operated on may have a vastly different feel and that will throw off her shooting, and other aspects of her game.
i no longer play the game but using my hoop, after surgery a lot changed.
Remember the posters saying---SHE shoots too much,. When partially open she shot. We could have used that Caroline in the ND and Princeton games.
If she is the Caroline of her ancestry, that I believe in, she shall overcome this and excel
