Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3154946, member: 5798"] Great observations by you all. It's a fact that the more you handle the ball, the more turnovers you're going to have. The reverse is also true. As already stated, she won't be handling (bring it up) the ball nearly as much this year. That will not be her role here. Also she'll be playing with players more talented than before, which will also help cut down on her turnovers. As the piece mentioned, Adebayo's biggest asset is being a prolific rebounder and she can score the ball in a variety of ways. While she can shoot threes well enough that opponents will have to respect her from there, she scores most of her points from inside the arc. She's also very good at drawing fouls and getting to the line. Perhaps her greatest asset is her ability of staying out of foul trouble. She averaged just 2.2 fouls per game and committed the foul on just 3.5 percent of her possessions, a trait that we know Geno loves, [B]especially late in close games. ;)[/B] This is her LAST rodeo. I'm sure she wants it to be a memorable one. Given her work ethic and maturity, I'm sure she'll come into camp in shape and ready to go. After 4 weeks of camp, and 5 or so games behind her, I think Adebayo will have made the adjustment to playing Geno's style of BB with this team. She doesn't have to reinvent the wheel, simply make minor adjustments in her approach to the game. Geno could have offered a lot of "other" players in the transfer portal, they offered her. I don't think Geno and staff missed on this one. They obviously liked the tools on her tool belt. She'll be fine. I think we're going to like what we see. :) [/QUOTE]
