Kelly-The Swiss Army Knife

[rocky rococo]

Being the Swiss Army Knife means boxing out bigger, faster players; drawing fouls ; being the first to loose balls. I saw Kelly do all those things in one less than four minute stretch in the second half. Does that make Pam Ward wrong? I don't think so. She speaks very fluent Conventional Wisdom, and that's the language in which things like AA designations are decided. It's not a Swiss Army Knife-friendly language. How many players have ever been named AAs because they were the ones most likely to get to loose balls first?

I thought being a Swiss Army Knife meant you had ALL the tools. Makes me wonder, what do others think it means?

I'd say it means having a versatile tool that can serve any number of functions.

But you could perhaps extend the metaphor and say that if you know that all you want is a knife (i.e. scoring), there are better ones in the kitchen cupboards. But if you don't know for sure what you'll need at any moment, a Swiss Army Knife is incredibly handy and will almost always get the job done.

Kelly took Dook for a ride on the Faris Wheel last night.

She is a Swiss Army Knife--on the cutting edge of defense. Soon to be cutting down nets.
