I think some here on the BY are confusing “foot speed” with “footwork” when it comes to Jana.  Having watched Betts along with the 2 bigs at TX, it’s pretty clear that Jana has superior foot speed.  She runs the court far better than any of them, and when she does make a fluid move in the paint, without thinking about it, she can be dazzling, as when she left SC’s super frosh Joyce Edwards grasping for air with her crossover.

The challenge for Jana is to feel comfortable and instinctive with her back to the basket, something she really didn’t spend a lot of time on growing up in Egypt.  It’s currently a work in progress.  In the long run I have confidence that Jamelle (the post whisperer) and the rest of the staff will be able to help Jana develop into a formidable low post scorer.

Once Jana develops her “back to the basket” game, she can return to the face up game that she’s more comfortable with: midrange, 3-pt and drives to the basket.
