Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4332322, member: 9844"] I hope you are right, and there are a-lot of women who are effective rebounders using their bulk to get good position, and she seems to be fundamentally sound, and it was just one game's stats. I also agree you can be a great player without being a great leaper, and in the case of Tuck that might be a good comparison for Ice. Tuck had many strengths but her rebounding and blocked shot stats were relative weaknesses, compared to the rest of her game. She still played good position defense. My best guess is that Ice will be very effective offensively. Polished moves inside, the ability to stretch the floor some with her jumper, and she apparently is a pretty talented passer. Defensively I expect good position defense, and the ability to bang with physical bigs. That is quite a few positive attributes. If she turns out to be a special rebounder/shot blocker in addition, then the upside is exceptional. Regardless there are more games for her to play in this competition that may reveal more on all her abilities. Actually if I could be a fly in the room, what I would love to see is the practices with Ice going against Del Rosario. That might tell us more about both of those players than going against weaker competition in this tournament. [/QUOTE]
