Message: [QUOTE="Conndog, post: 3394474, member: 5939"] Wish Liv would get ball off quicker when shooting and that her release on her shot was higher too, which she can work on to improve. Fake one way and then use a quick pivot and shoot; draw a foul on opposing center if possible. Her turn-around jumper is good start & will get better, but she was flustered by playing against such a solid and skilled center. Someone suggested a hook shot could be added to her arsenal; it's worth a try. I think she should see watch film of what Morgan Tuck and Napheesa would do when down low and try to imitate them as they were fantastic, and they weren't as tall as she. Kyla has open shots and shooting just isn't in her thoughts, I guess, not as first option anyway, and she passes to other players instead. We've seen that she can shoot well; but if she won't shoot in a critical game, especially when open, then this is a liability. I was very impressed by her defense and rebounding against Baylor, but UConn needs more offense. Sorry, have to play someone else more if more offense is needed. But, maybe she can work on changing her mindset. I like Aubrey a lot- wow is she athletic! She really battled for rebounds when in the game. She is so quick too, and if she can develop (maybe she already has it) a medium jump shot, she would be deadly coming off screens at the top of the key. She drives well to the basket too. If Kyla isn't going to shoot, I'd play Aubrey, and UConn would be better offensively and at least equal on defense (freshman inexperience notwithstanding). Oh well, this was a good test, and except for end of game, it was close. [/QUOTE]
