Message: [QUOTE="Bigpetunia, post: 2405325, member: 1772"] Thank you, MHS, for your analysis and your honesty. I think that we fans consistently fall into the trap of relying too heavily on numbers. For example, I suspect that Z will, over the course of the season, get nearly as many minutes as Crystal, and will put up more ppg. But getting points on the board is not, and will not be a problem for this team. The two key words you used are “offensive flow.” If those two words appeared together in a basketball dictionary, Geno’s picture would appear adjacently. If you ever wish to engage in an exercize in how spoiled we are as fans in this regard, watch a few minutes of a televised Lady Vol game. Now, I know that any comparison between Geno and that poor girl coaching Tenn is laughable, but we are so accustomed to a finely-tuned version of what offensive flow is supposed to look like it comes as a shock when we are confronted with the complete absence of it. Therein lies Geno’s huge point guard-driven bias, and Crystal (just like Moriah before her) had to endure and surmount a tough freshman learning curve to get there...not that she is yet a “finished project,” but the progression seems undeniable!
