I think she worked within the offense well... shared the ball well, set a lot of screens, pick and rolls (though these FIBA players don't seem to hold picks very long), made her layups and she has a very nice outside shot. And she is deadly from the free throw line.Yeah, I had looked up her age and saw she's not even 18 yet. I only caught the second half but it was a dominant performance by Jana. She basically got downhill whenever she wanted. She drove left and finished with the left, she drove right and did the same. She drew fouls inside. She missed 5 shots and I bet 3 of them she got the offensive rebound and scored or got fouled. She called for/wanted the ball every time down the court. It kinda felt like she wouldn't let them lose and that if Egypt is taking the next step in their women's program, this was kind of a game they shouldn't lose. To temper expectations, not sure Chinese Taipei u19 is the best of competition.
All in all, there is a lot of promise, a lot of talent and drive for the coaches to develop and work their magic.
