Message: [QUOTE="ABCDFE, post: 3434773, member: 9410"] The blanket statement that we need bigs is not correct. We need players who play "big" and more importantly, we need athletic players that are aggressive both defensively and offensively. What we lack now is elite skill at either shooting, post, or creating mid-range (maybe CW can get there...). Outside of Crystal (who has to work so hard to create and then guard the top guard on the other team), we do not have anyone showing elite offensive or defensive skill. Liv can be that dominant defensive player, but she has a penchant for fouling and doesn't guard outside the paint well, yet. I've been thinking, what is this team missing to make them elite. My opinion would be an elite shooter (someone the other team has to shut down) like a KLS, KML etc., a consistent post presence that can get us easy buckets, and a lock down defender (MoJeff, Nurse, Faris). That post presence doesn't have to be 6'5" tall. We've seen Gabby, Pheesa, and Tuck at be very adept at getting to the basket for layups. You will say, "wow that's a lot". Yes it is a lot, and that's why we are who we are. [/QUOTE]
