KML lately

[Shades]

She just had a very good game in the Euroleague. Still mostly a three point shooter, but I’m also seeing some drives and a post up in this highlight reel. She’s probably looking the fittest I’ve ever seen her as a professional basketball player.

 

[pvdoggy]

Some nice moves inside. Sometimes we forget what an amazing shooter KML is.

 

[Sonny44]

Love it! Good for her.

 

[EricLA]

She has one of the prettiest shots in basketball. She gets her shot off amazingly fast. So glad she's having success and getting in better shape. I still have high hopes for her in the WNBA.

I remember when she got on a roll it didn't matter who guarded her, she was impossible to stop..............beautiful, repeatable shooting form

 

[Plebe]

What a sweet stroke.

 

[JordyG]

Fitter than before. But frankly, still not as fit as she could or needs to be in order to play at an elite WNBA level. She still has that form though.

 

[willtalk]

I remember her also having some relatively good scoring games in the WNBA as well. When a shooter is hot they are capable of doing that. It all is a matter of being hot and catching the right match ups. Her problem in the WNBA has never been her offense, but the trade off of her offense with her being a defensive liability. Whether the trade of is worth it depends on match ups and game conditions.

Jordy :I think she is as fit as she is going to get. Everyone has a certain body type and it looks like she has made strides in respect to getting in shape.. She doesn't look fat or out of shape. She is just a big girl and that limits her speed and mobility. With the right diet and exercise you can reduce your body fat, but there still are limits imposed by each persons body type.

 

[Striper69]

She's a college and pro champ...Go, Kaleena!!!

 

[FedupFred]

Still remember April 2015 at the Amalie Arena against Notre Dame when they got within 6. First off the dribble:
PA Announcer: "Kaleena Mosqueda Lewis FOR THREE"
Next play a pull up jumper from the top of the key by KML.

Notre Dame then gave up.

 

[DEpup]

She is looking fitter and good for her!

 

[Shades]

I found the whole game if you want to evaluate all aspects of her current game.

 

[MilfordHusky]

K looks about 10 pounds lighter, or maybe it’s the white uniforms.

I was a little concerned when she chose to play in France. You are trying to lose a few pounds and you go to France??

I’d love to see her keep it up. No one has a better shot unless their name is Fudd or Curry.

And she hit a nice layup in that sequence as well. She did come up big that day.

Monique?!

 

[triaddukefan]

Monique?!

He probably meant Dell

As I remember, when she hit the 3, later MM said that that was the dagger. MM did not even bother fouling. She just conceded.

"We knew ND wasn't going to go away, so we had to put them away and I had to step up and make a shot."

 

[MilfordHusky]

Monique?!

No, Chicken Curry!

Besides, Monique's last name is Currie, not Curry.

 

[Gus Mahler]

She gets her shot off amazingly fast.

That was the first thing that struck me. I hope her success carries over.

 

[MilfordHusky]

"We knew ND wasn't going to go away, so we had to put them away and I had to step up and make a shot."

In a low-scoring game in which points were hard to come by, K scored our final 7 points. She was not afraid of the moment.

 

[Gus Mahler]

Thanks, @Shades, for making this thread.

Her beautiful 3pt shot with 48 seconds left sealed the game. She did everything this game. Tough on the boards.

Her season stats are excellent. (50% from 3pt)

Would love for her to be able to play good defense, that would make Seattle domimate for a number of years.
