Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3846174, member: 10435"] I agree with this. Players have to play to their strengths. Otherwise make Liv the point guard and Nika the center and just make them practice a lot and they will be good at it? It's an absurd proposition. So what does CW do really well on offense? She drives left and right, gets out in transition and can pull up from close. We don't need her as one of our most frequent 3 point shooters. What about Liv? 23% from 3 range. What does she do well on offense? Post ups with her back to the basket, shoots better within 15 feet than beyond it,, and goes to the basket well on a pick and roll. Neither of these lists are exhaustive but only examples. When players are taking low percentage shots because of their own shooting percentages for those specific shots it favors the opponent. That is the key here. If AG took 100 3s every practice, she would still not be one of our better 3 point shooters. It's just not her game. CW can and does help this team immensely when she plays her game but hurts us when she doesn't. She just needs to take everything down a notch and go out there with the focus on helping the team in any way she can, not whether she is going to make the next shot or miss it. Everyone is using a golf analogy here, so let me ask you, do you have a better chance of making that 5 footer when you are worried about missing it? [/QUOTE]
