Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4791969, member: 12088"] This is what I was trying to get at. MoJeff she isn’t. Kia Nurse she isn’t. But, as others have mentioned, Kelly Faris was very much like her, and we could really use someone like Kelly. Not going to beat you off the dribble with a twitchy-fast first step and a dazzling crossover but very likely to beat you down the floor more often than not. Why? Because she doesn’t seem to get tired. Opposing players may beat her down the floor in the first quarter. But by the second half she’s still running just as fast and very few opponents will be. It’s one thing to be dazzlingly quick. It’s another to be relentlessly fast. And the player who never stops moving her feet on defense seems to have a head start on everyone else even if they’re not super quick. [B]We need both types[/B]. But not everyone on the team needs to be both. KK can supply the one sort of quickness and Ashlynn can supply the other. What I like about both of them is they each use their relentless speed on D and to get rebounds and loose balls. It’s not just about scoring. I also look forward to the sort of example Ashlynn will set for Allie and Morgan when they get here. Neither of them is KK-quick, but they can be Ashlynn-quick. [/QUOTE]
