Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4697843, member: 12088"] I’ll make the excuses. Egypt mainly plays a 2-3 zone which makes boxing out much harder, as well as pik and roll defense. It’s clear this team has not really been coached for help defense. What I mainly see is a very able scorer with excellent handles and a ferocious spirit. We haven’t had a lot of those recently in the post, just Dorka and Aaliyah, and I think Jana’s skills will soon be better than theirs were last season. And she has a motor when she needs it. Nika will growl her into using that motor more consistently. I suspect she’s ready to learn Geno’s defense. Either she’ll learn it or she won’t. If she doesn’t, she won’t get much playing time. But she’s got too much heart to be content riding the bench. I predict she’ll be a 30 min/g player by November ‘24, and may be up to 20 mins by the middle of this season. [/QUOTE]
