Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 5030418, member: 2117"] The biggest difference for LSU this year will be chemistry and not having to deal with pressure like they did a year ago. Last year they were all over the place at times between Reese missing several games due to undisclosed reasons, all the Washington Post drama, parents beefing online, etc. Enter S'Myah Smith who will be an excellent glue player in the post. 6-3, extremely athletic (assuming she fully recovers from her ACL) and is a shot blocking presence inside. She's not Angle Reese but she's a really good PF and was playing phenomenally prior to injury. I see Del Rosario as a backup post player this year. PG play isn't elite but I'd expect a combination of their guards to be an upgrade over Van Lith who struggled big time on both ends last year. Even if they aren't scoring a ton, as long as they're consistently getting the ball to Flaujae/Morrow/Williams and not turning it over, it will be an upgrade over Van Lith based on how she played last year. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Mikaylah Williams blossom this year similar to how we saw Flaujae improve from freshman to sophomore year. [/QUOTE]
