Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3821513, member: 10435"] The Molly Bent comparisons are absurd. She is a far superior overall player to Molly in every respect except between the ears right now. She is a freshman, thousands of miles away from home, in an interrupted season, missing several games due to injury, playing a different kind of game with a much different way of playing defense than in the pro league in Europe she was playing in. She has the motivation and the desire and the intensity. We can't expect a straight line up from her, it will be fits and starts. I see good form in her 3, a good head about the game, someone who is not afraid to take control at the point, and a toughness on defense. It is true that she turns her head on defense at times, loses an assignment or doesn't switch correctly but you can learn our defense. She can also work on her quickness. On offense she does not have the right discipline as Geno discussed yet. You can't force at this level, not even against Georgetown. As someone pointed out, Geno isn't playing her for 34 minutes for fun. The team needs her and she needs the team. I watch her on the bench as to her reaction to her teammates. She is all in but just very young and emotional right now. Let Geno push the buttons with her which is what he is doing now and Shea will help her immensely. Hopefully Geno still has the master puppeteer finesse and it will work. I for one am sanguine about her future here. [/QUOTE]
