Message: [QUOTE="JDuro, post: 3749092, member: 8351"] Yesterday’s game is a bad one to be making grand pronouncements about the potential of this team. It was a glorified exhibition and C of C’s lack of abilities had a very steroidal affect on USC’s performance. USC played a cupcake and they destroyed them like the cupcake they are, and that’s a good thing. Lele is no PG, and certainly not a replacement for Ty. She’s is not the ball handler or floor general that Ty is. Lele also has yet to show that she can hit shots away from the basket like Ty could, as she still gets her offensive production under the rim. Yes, Dawn feels comfortable having her bring the ball up the court, but against better, more pressing defenses, you want the ball in Henny, Zia, or Eniya’s hands. Lele is no more a PG than Tina Roy or Cliney who Dawn also allowed to handle the ball at times. It’s crazy to say Ty and Kiki Herbert-Harrigan won’t be missed. I have no worries that LA and Saxton will cover a great deal of what Kiki did when it comes to rebounding and blocks. It’s Kiki’s ability to stretch the floor with her uncanny jump shot that we’ll likely miss. Kiki wasn’t a volume 3 pt shooter, but she hit enough, and at a 44% clip, to know she was a weapon and you did it at your own peril if you cheated away from her to double or triple on Boston. Vic has yet to exhibit that ability while LA has shown potential, hitting 7 of 13 from deep last year. And to keep things shorter, there will be plenty of times when not having Ty running and leading the team will show up, subtle in most cases, glaring in a few. Luckily having Destanni to move into her place is about as good a replacement you can have. Lastly, Eniya showed me she definitely is a true PG. I see what those people who saw her play in HS were talking about when they intimated she was being slept on. She showed me enough, even against weak comp that she has the handles, the shooting touch, and the basketball smarts, to grow into a very good PG over the next 4 yrs, which is going to be fun to witness.
