Message: [QUOTE="jazz, post: 3889361, member: 10942"] True but these are things that all freshman struggle with, and to be fair, many players struggle with through their entire career. What you could see though early on, is that she had a lot of 'want to' and despite the injury, she had some good movement skills and more importantly, she had very good anticipation and recognition of screens and where she was on the court and what was going on around her, etc. This is what really impressed me and the reason why I thought she would be at least a good defender. Her aggressiveness at 35 ft from the basket might need to be reeled in against some whistle-happy refs. She has a tendency to bump a bit which could be called a foul. Her swipes are clean but I worry more that against better players. NM is a river-boat gambler and can get a little 'swipe-happy' and if doesn't work ,and as a result, she loses leverage on the player, she can get beat to the hoop. That has happened a couple times. This makes her look slow of foot as well, although I don't think that is the case. Good to see your positive vibes concerning NM though! [/QUOTE]
