Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4701162, member: 3834"] At the risk of sounding ungrateful or churlish, I have to say, the point guard play on the US U 19 team was imo, shockingly poor. PGs are supposed to get the ball to shooters and/or other players in position to score. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen more wild, out of control drives into a crowd! To be fair, they often scored or were rescued by Kitts, Edwards, Booker, or Van Slooten and obviously brought home the gold but it sure wasn’t pretty. They were simply more physically talented than most of the other teams! I suppose I’m going to be accused of favoritism here but it was truly shocking how many times I saw a PG (all of them) completely ignore (or not see) our Allie with no one within 12 feet of her and rather than passing it to the wide open, best three point shooter on the floor, try some wild reverse left handed scoop shot in the middle of three players 6 inches taller than them! Obviously, I’m happy for the US team and was certainly impressed by some of the players. Edwards, Kitts, Booker, Van Slooten were all extremely impressive but the play at the point was pretty rough. Hidalgo, though equally afflicted with the reluctance to pass, nevertheless showed that she may be a real treasure for ND. They are going to have a serious PG duo there between her and Miles! Anyway, rant over! I’m proud they won and especially happy for our Allie! Seventeen! The basketball world is her oyster! [/QUOTE]
