Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2815633, member: 6620"] This discussion has come up a few times on various threads. Some thoughts: - Agree that Wilson needs help down low, particularly on the defensive and rebounding fronts (although some form of dependable offensive production would be helpful). - However, the player of choice needs to be complementary to Wilson's game, which largely consists of forays into/through the lane (drives, pull-up jumpers). While her pairing with Ms. Coates at South Carolina was positive, the team went on it's run when Wilson had reign over the lane. (At South Carolina, it allowed Davis to drive into space, something Davis liked to do, as do McBride and Plum with the Aces.) So, are McCowan and/or Brown the right kind of centers to work with Wilson? I'm not so sure, given the lack of mobility of what I've seen of McCowan on offense. Brown is advanced in many offensive areas, but would like to see a bit more grit in her game - The Aces also need another medium- to outside threat to take attention away from McBride. So, the obvious choice is go high with either a wing (KLS) or center, then see what happens. Here's another thought: - Take KLS with the high pick. - Package either Plum or MoJeff (and others if need be) to procure another high pick and find a defensive/rebounding/agile center to work with Wilson. That player could be Brianna Turner, who rebounds, blocks shots and runs the floor well. Or, if you don't want to send away your guards, look latere at a Hallie Thome, who is a smart, complementary player. Just another way(s) of looking at it. [/QUOTE]
