Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4263537, member: 10435"] I think that is relatively unfair. I don't think that turnovers are the deciding factor at all. AE leads the team in turnovers, with Liv second and Evina third. AE also commits many unnecessary offensive fouls both on moving screens and simply not being aware of where her opponent is. She also has defensive lapses as evidenced by the last play in the first half. Yet she brings intensity and energy and rebounds and defends and does some important counterbalancing things. I think it is more the eye test. A coach can tell if a player is "ready" or " in the moment" but CD was not against Indiana nor was Dorka and I do think the first NCAA tourney is a factor for both of them. The turnover and bad shot was more a symptom of not being there. Caroline can spell CW at times for a rest and can be an important contributor. After Cunane, NC St is not big and CD can post up, cut, drive and shoot the pull up or 3. She can make the difference in the game if she is "on". Unfortunately, she has been a different player since her injury, more tentative, less engaging. I'm hoping tonight she has a good game for us. She is a very complete and smart basketball player.
