Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4166714, member: 10435"] I'm sorry but a PG in the current women's game on a top 5 or top 10 team has to be able to knock down 3s and has to at least be a threat to do so. At 15%, that just isn't very threatening. I was shocked at how little she improved over the summer all around but mostly in her shooting. You would think that there would be a shooting coach/ trainer/ friend with a few hundred shots a day and a new ability to pull up and/or finish at the rim. She has none of that. She said recently in an interview, as you know, that she didn't have to score because there were other people to do that. That is shortsighted. The PG position is ordinarily at the top of the key which is prime 3 country and being a threat there helps the whole team not just by scoring but by preventing the other team from playing against us 5-4. She is tough, defends exceptionally well, has good speed and vision, takes charge and has all the valued intangible qualities. Right now, we are not a good shooting and scoring team and some 3s or short jumpers in the lane from our PG are really needed. I think everyone has to realize that they have to get out of their comfort zone now, practice those new things and play harder and differently than they did with Paige. [/QUOTE]
