Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 4516100, member: 10709"] Here are my thoughts: [B]1) Michigan Guards: [/B] The guard position has been an issue for some time. Dilk was expected to pair well with Hillmon but something happened after her injury. She wasn't the same player. Rauch (now graduated) and Nolan are serviceable, however they're prone to defensive lapses and going cold when they need to score. They added Phelia and Wiggins last year, however Wiggins hasn't caught on for whatever reason. Phelia, in my opinion, should have been given more opportunities as point guard last season to be prepared for this season. [B]2) Leigha Brown:[/B] I don't think playing point guard is the issue. Brown was also turnover prone last season from what I recall. To me, her motor/energy is what takes a toll on her. She tries to do more than required which gets the best of her. She can handle a point guard role, as seen with her 15 assists in a recent game. Finding the right balance is the challenge. [B]3) Maryland: [/B] I think it's because the BIG10 is more of a slugfest at the top than previous seasons. The conference is having their best season with respect to ranked teams, where it used to be Maryland, then everyone else. And even with the transfers out, the expectation was that Maryland would remain on of the top teams in the BIG10. This isn't new to the program. [/QUOTE]
