FIBA Americas Game Link & Thread USA/Chile (Aug 2)

She'll need to work on her conditioning. She also seems to think that she has a 10-12 footer, all results to the contrary.

I do like her moves down under but yeah Div. 1 will be a shock.
 
CW ran by a defender for a fast break, but her teammate was fouled before she could pass it.

A little later, CW dribbled by her defender for a fast break. She has decent speed.
 
CW with an offensive rebound, a miss, another rebound, and a make. She's relentless. I expect about 5-6 rpg from her.

And she swished a couple of corner threes.

I thought that Liv looked ok. She showed her handle, some rebounding, and some post-up skills. She looked raw and a little winded at times.

Edit: Note that they are playing at altitude.

I thought that Christyn looked like a scoring machine and could have had 30 if she wanted--and could make FTs. ;)

I think she'll be just fine............don't know many 6'7" players that have her pretty good athleticism.............it's a shame she didn't come north because UConn sure could use a big body

Good take. I noted the winded look too. A bunch of them looked winded. Not CW though.

I don't know. She looks pretty light on her feet for her size.
Yeah, I had no problem with her athleticism, just her conditioning. Her shot making skills as well.
 
Have you heard Italian or French spoken softly? They are, after all, “Romance” languages!
Of course. I've lived with and among French expatriates, Haitians, and Canadians. My best friend all through grammar and junior high was Italian. None to me sound as mellifluous as Spanish, especially when spoken well and most especially when spoken softly.
 
To each his own ear --- love all the sound of all the romance languages, but in this order -- French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. I'm not sure what Romanian sounds like.

Back on basketball, I'm happy to have Prince just as she is. Don't know how many of her games you have seen, JordyG, but she can actually hit some 10 and 12 footers. Christyn Williams looking good.
 
Pretty sure Joens would bull towards the hoop if she were facing an armada of defenders.

UConn could use the additional height. I think she and ONO could work well together. While both are "raw" pieces of wet clay that need to be molded into the players their coaches invision them to be by their senior year, it will be interesting to see these two develop during their college years.

We know ONO will reach her potential, Geno and CD will see to that. Prince would have also flourished under UConn's tutelage. Remember the last 6'7" post player UConn had? She turned out to be pretty good. She was inducted in the women's basketball hall of fame was she not?
