Message: [QUOTE="HuskyNan, post: 5040665, member: 4"] Gandy's final stats: 11 points (4-5, 66.7%) 16 rebounds (8 offensive) 2 assists 4 fouls 2 TO's, none in second half 1 steal 2 blocks +/- 5 Efficiency 23, leads team in 25 minutes 5 seconds My thoughts on Gandy after a full game: [LIST] [*]Gandy is new-ish to the game (about 7 years) but some skills are already excellent such as boxing out, keeping the ball high, passing crisply out of a double team, diving to the basket on offense (some big girls would rather camp out on the perimeter). Gandy seems unafraid of contact and plays with energy. I didn't see any forced shots, either. It appears to me that Gandy has had some good coaching and learned some important fundamentals [*]I thought Gandy's lateral movement was well-balanced and she was able to stay in front of the opposing player that was trying to go the basket. Still needs a bit of work but, again, the fundamentals are good [*]She made one mid-range shot that was kind of a flip. I think this is an area where she could improve in the future. [*]At this point, it could be that Gandy's defense is ahead of her offense, which is unusual for a young big girl. Defense is harder and takes a lot more energy and effort and sometimes young kids would rather chuck up threes. I like Gandy's work ethic. I think we're getting a good one. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
