Lexi Gordon Update

[eebmg]

Saw this blurb about Lexi Gordon finding a home now at Duke and making an impact


Duke graduate transfer Lexi Gordon shot 50 percent from 3,
going 10-of-20 in her first two games as a Blue Devil.
Gordon’s 10 3s ties the record set by Nicole Erickson in 1997-1998. (Hard to believe that is the record?)

Which top players underwhelmed? Which teams proved they were underrated? 12 questions on women’s basketball

Week 1 answered some questions: Texas was the biggest surprise, and Paige Bueckers didn't miss a step.

While the title of the article is negative, they report equally good and bad performances






How has this not been reported by certain blue ,members of the BY?

Unfortunately, she fell off in Game 3 (1-4 from 3 and 1-5 total)

Her stats show she seems to be a 3 pt specialist much like her old running mate AEH

Article has the usual Paige accolades too.

I plead the no coffee defense.

As a tea drinker, I reject that defense!

I've said on another board, or maybe in the chat room, or perhaps to my neighbor's dog... that Lexi Gordon is a one trick pony, but she's been very good at that one trick. As long as she can remain above 40% from behind the arc, then she will most likely remain a starter.

But I seem to recall she had some strong all around games at Texas Tech?

Oh ok... honestly... these are the first few times I've ever seen her play. I'll have to look up her stats at Texas Tech.

Some players seem immortal after they leave the teams with which they started. I think of the ubiquitous Taya Reimer, who began with ND and then started popping up like a mushroom everywhere damp. UConn formers such as AEH and Lexi seem now to have joined the parade. Hey, they just wanna play--and why not?
Saylor's name has come up recently. I understand that her boyfriend is in Oregon, so maybe she'll be happier sitting on the bench near him. There was little chance she'd have played much here because of the surplus of guards. It will fun to follow her progress, and I'm sure we all wish her well.
