I could swear I was looking at Chiney. Virtually identical.
5 out of 7 CT Sun post players (the 7 likely to make the team) make thier living almost exclusively in the paint. Only Jones and Tuck are legit outside threats (I don't count Stricklen as a true post). In an era where bigs increasingly are able to move out and stretch the D, this seems to be a problem. Another aspect of this offensive concentration inside is that it moves Jones outside most of the time and I think that makes her less effective as an offensive rebounder - one of her best skills. Coach Miller was challenged last year to find ways to have a balanced floor on offense, and this year will be no different.
