Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2953196, member: 26"] So I had a busy weekend and finally sat down last night to watch the game. I specifically keyed on on Kyla as much as I could. In the past, she mostly spent her time on the floor setting screens and immediately passing the ball when she got it. It's possible that's been changing gradually but... In the game vs. SHU I noticed she did much more. Tips on rebounding both offense and defense to other UCONN players to keep the offensive possession alive or prevent SHU from an O-board. Some very nice passes for assists (or blown layups that should have been assists). She drained the 3 with confidence. Given her foot speed, she played competent defense and was good on the rotational help-side defense as well. I realize she's limited and will likely never be asked to play significant minutes in a big game, but what she DOES do is spell a starter, and rarely makes a mistake. Yes I'd like to see her look for her shot more. But part of that is due to her teammates as well. Not only are they great players, but I also noticed several times Lou or Crystal would probe-drive into the defense, drawing defenders, and Kyla was to the side or behind wide open. They SHOULD have passed to her for the open 3 shot, but they did not. I'd also like to see her in the high post like Stef and Gabby used to do, but not sure if she'd be effective there. She's certainly a solid passer. I love what Kyla brings and gives the team. As she said in her interview, the coaches know what she can give them and she does it with maximum 100% effort at all times. Kudos to her. Great kid, teammate, and representative of what it means to be a UCONN Husky...! [/QUOTE]
