So many smart posts on this thread that it is hard to begin with one but I like very much the observations here about deferral. It has to be selective or it hurts your shot, confidence and consistency and it also hurts the team offense because it is easier to double the "deferee".

As for Caroline, you are right thankfully. She was hurt all year and carried us for several games but is a scorer and a player and shouldn't defer in my mind unless it's giving up a defended shot for a clean one. You want a future 3x3 player for Team USA, I think she would be a solid choice in a couple of years.

As for Nika, if she can finish on the break from the wing position or the middle position both with the left and right hand, and can shoot and hit a pull up within 15 feet, it makes her a much greater asset for us because her defender can't sluff off her and she will have to be picked up on D by the other team and that opens up passing abilities. The best PGs are scorers too when they need to for the team or have an open shot. I'm thinking that Sue player a while ago. She was pretty good.
