I saw your earlier post about Betts. I was able to watch a lot of Pac 12 games, especially Oregon, USC, California, and Stanford games. I am a huge Haley Jones fan & I love watching the Oregon Ducks. For Betts, early in the season, she looked a little slow and unsure of where to be out on the court. As the season progressed, she showed signs of improvement and was looking pretty decent out there.I will be honest I didn't get to watch Stanford a whole lot last year given I did not have access to the PAC 12 network but she does look really good so far this tournament but maybe Betts is just making a big jump and taking a step from where she finished her freshmen season (which happens all the time).
It will be interesting though to see how her first season at UCLA will go.
Cori has a golden opportunity with that roster... they may end up playing UCONN or LSU in the Cayman Islands early
This year, like you said, I think Betts will make a huge jump in her progression. She has the size, good hands, great post up ability, and decent footwork in the post. I am hoping that she is gaining some confidence, especially playing in the FIBA Cup event, and will take this experience to UCLA and help Coach Cori and the UCLA program.
I am hoping that this FIBA game ends up on YouTube so that we can watch or rewatch the game.
