Message: [QUOTE="tchalla1, post: 3451486, member: 9866"] Good question: why so many minutes w/o contribution--certainly we have a short bench but I'd soon as diminish CW's time and use that time for developmental time for the two frosh... I don't understand why at the slightest dissatisfaction of ONO, Geno would pull her in a punitive manner and let her sit, sometimes for an entire quarter. And here's CW contributing zilch and she plays the entire game... As was pointed out, CW is much better at 3x3 with the open court--she was better last year as a frosh because she was a secondary/tertiary scoring option, and could sneak in largely unnoticed....It's easy to see what's wrong with CW: through HS and all, her one-on-one skill was all she needed against loose defense and she didn't learn real offense--she still hasn't learned offense--she stands around with out-reached hands awaiting the ball. She simply doesn't know what to do. And contrary to what most might think, CW isn't especially good of an outside shooter--she's a slasher, she's height-challenged inside, and ultimately, she's easily defended if she's closely guarded. Let's face it, CW's largely a one-dimensional player--to use old school verbiage, a "one-armed bandit.".... I agree--next year, if CW does not step it up, she very well could be challenged for playing time by the likes of EW and all the talented incoming frosh... [/QUOTE]
