Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 2522260, member: 7093"] I hope you are right about, " she is a fighter." Her facial expression and body language communicate a different emotion. Her play, yesterday, was awful. Maybe against Texas she will get a chance to shine. But there can't be but one practice between yesterday's game and Monday and, if practice is where minutes are earned, I don't see her earning much court time. I hope she returns next year as a " new player," much as Crystal has. Otherwise, this year seems to be headed down the drain for her, and for the team. Not that anyone ( except Kyla ) did anything meaningful from the bench. Camara looks like a wounded warrior who should just sit out the year, have surgery and come back rejuvenated next season ( I am not saying I am correct...only that her appearance seemed a struggle for her ). Molly is the world's worst offensive player. She gives up obvious opportunities to drive to the hoop, for dishing off a terrible pass and turning the ball over. It is like she would rather have an assist ( that really isn't there ) than score a basket for herself. As though that would be the wrong thing to do. The " confidence" Geno talks about wanting his young players to demonstrate is simply not there. The guard from Georgia has the strangest shot I have ever seen. When she sets up ( say, she is open for a three ), the ball is below waist level. There is immense ( on a relative basis ) distance between her eyes and her hands as she lines up the shot. Then, she kind of flings the ball. In my view, it is easily blocked if she is defended, and has about no chance of going in the basket. She reminds me of someone trying to convert with the long-distance, underhand set shots we used to see about 50 years ago. She even missed two free throws, and would have done better with the underhand shot. She may prove to be a good ball handler, defender, passer and scorer on fast breaks ( lay-ups), but her outside shot seems hopeless. I hope I am alone in this observation, because if I am right we have a freshman guard whose upside is limited. And a player who never should have received the high ranking she earned. So, please, tell me I am wrong. Tell me she was among the top three point shooters in the nation as a HS senior. Tell me something. Anything. [/QUOTE]
