Quite right. What player will take more shots than her coach will tolerate? In that game, she took 30 of A&M's 66 shots (45%) and made 13 (43%), though she did drop 7/9 3-pointers. For the season, her overall shooting average= 44%;  3-pt= 38%. She did lead her team in assists by a wide margin, though not in the DePaul game, and A&M's offense is not UConn- like in having a high percentage of made baskets coming off assists. She [I]is[/I] a shooter, no doubt about it, and she bailed out A&M in that DePaul game. I prefer to see development of other offensive skills, as exemplified by, say, Lou, who has learned to see and set up her teammates in addition to scoring. Of course, while she is a more efficient scorer than Carter by far, she will not have as gaudy a points/game average. 
Will Carter evolve beyond her one-dimensional offensive game? That depends on Gary Blair and how much he wants to coach vs. relying on a superstar who manufactures points on her own by being a volume shooter.
