Kyla is playing so well this year because Geno finally convinced her she doesn’t have to do it all. All Geno wants is for Kyla to play to her strengths- rebounds, set screens, take charges, pass to the shooters, and play defense. With Crystal, Meg, Christyn, and Liv on the court, Geno doesn’t need Kyla and Molly to be shooters. I have zero complaints about the way those two are playing this year.
I think Kyla's play in the last three or four games has deteriorated a bit as Anna's play has improved. The nifty assists that Kyla was getting in the early games have morphed into turnovers as she makes ill-advised passes. And although she and Anna are about the same size, I think Anna is a stronger rebounder.
I agree 100% altho Kyla has hit some key treys this year .. which means they can't leave her alone, eh?
Apples are not oranges .. I merely said they all should shoot when they are open .. Kyla has already hit some key treys this year and Molly won the 3-point shooting contest on opening night, eh? Aubrey has not shown [yet] that she can hit the mid-range shot or from distance. Ratings don't mean much to me; what one does in the games count .. and this is a new season for Molly and Kyla where they appear to be stepping up, eh?
What’s with the “eh”?
Agree with all points but believe most of the posts regarding Kyla relate to what UConn needs in the future against top teams, not how she has done against 2nd tier competition. With focus on the 4 starters, likely someone should be open. Kyla has proven she can shoot and pass but typically only from a standing position, making her easier to guard. Against Baylor, will likely need someone (i.e. Anna) who can move and create movement/flow the others take advantage of.
Canadian speak???
Maybe comparative to the early 2000s when there was Battle, Williams, Cash along with Taurasi and Bird....
That is basically what Caroline Doty did as a RS Snr in 2012-13, with Mo typically coming in off the bench. But in order for Kyla to continue to fill that role, she needs to be a steady presence on the court. During this last game vs Wichita St, Kyla was a little shaky, particularly with her passing.
"eh?" is like "n'est-ce pas?" or "nicht wahr?" ... I got it from my Canadian friends
Agree completely
I agree. Similar to what I said in Post#7 - "Sandy Koufax didn't become a gr8 pitcher until he added a slooow change-up to his amazzzing fastball, isn't that so? Koufax added deception and unpredictability to his game which made him a star. Aubrey needs to do the same. "
