Message: [QUOTE="NOI33, post: 1990117, member: 5730"] The key word is consistency. Geno and the coaches have highlighted this too, and have encouraged her to expand her game. This is not short sighted; it's the truth. As I said in my post, I'm sure her determination will propel her to do so. But from what she has shown to this point, she is not a consistent OFFENSIVE threat. She is not a dynamic scorer or shooter by any means, and I don't think I have to convince you of that fact. Of course she has a good number of assists; she is a good passer. But most importantly, the schemes set up by Geno have her at the top of the key with the play running through her, as was done with Stef Dolson. My comment about the defense focusing on the other three is directed at those who said she is more deserving than Kia. Kia is an offensive threat and draws defenders. The same is true for the Pheese and Lou. As was previously stated here, Gabby is left wide open quite a bit, and is therefore able to collect herself and hit the open mid-range shot. That's what I was referring to when I said "production." However, you're right, she definitely produces in a number of other ways. I never took away from that. [/QUOTE]
