I can't conceive that she would ever have the speed or quickness to play the 2 slot and especially to defend the 2 spot. Beyond that, though she may need to be a little more fit and improve on her quickness by maybe shedding a few pounds, her strength inside was a wonderful attribute for UConn and made a big difference in the tournament. Why wouldn't you want her at the three position??? We are going to be so loaded at the one and two position that it isn't going to be funny. She is a much bigger asset right where she is. I think Kia Nurse is going to surprise a bunch of people and with Ekmark reportedly a fantastic shooter, isn't there more likelihood either of these girls will fight for that two position spot.
Gotta disagree here. She is surprisingly quick and will only get quicker with a Dolson like body change.
If she's a 2, I'm a 1.
Not here.
Well they both play BB, that's about it. Charde couldn't hold a candle to Kaleena.
You must have been asleep all the times she played the two this year.
No, short bench, few options for Geno.
Exactly. I'm still believing that she isn't ever going to be the player at the two position that she is and will continue to be at the three because of her body type. Her body type isn't anything like Stef's so she really can't ever make as radical a transition as did Dolson. Beyond that, though she may have played at the two during the course of the season it was only momentary and against overtly quick shooting guards she would be at a disadvantage. At the three, she actually can gain advantage with her multitude of skills. Just look at the NCAA tournament this year and how many points she got on put backs after rebounding in heavy traffic. Beyond that, she will never be able to play the two at the next level so for various reasons she and Geno know where she needs to be the vast majority of the time. Insofar as her playing the two occasionally, all the Huskies have a certain flexibility and that is helpful but KML's basic position will always be the three.
Don't think so. It's Stewie's to lose.
Correct Icebear- KML, in my opinion has been our MVP for the entire 6 game Tournament. Maybe Steph 2nd. Kalena has been a monster player for us - she has been doing so many good things in all facets , and makes big plays at really critical times! She has been a beast.
