Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 2763812, member: 4946"] As much fun as it is to psychoanalyze Diamond, the truth about her game is much more mundane. She simply needs a more reliable jumpshot. If she raises her FG% 5 points, she is a superstar. As lackluster as her shooting percentages are, she's still at a solid 15.0 PER, per BasketballReference. One place where she is efficient is the free throw line. She is 10th in the league in free throw attempts and she is shooting 85.5% from the line. Diamond actually has a higher free throw rate than any of the other other guards/wings in the top ten in FTAs (McCoughtry, Hayes, Diggins, Taurasi). When she drives, Diamond is *very* difficult to guard one-on-one without fouling due to her size/athleticism combo. [/QUOTE]
