People here are being pretty harsh on her considering she's likely going to graduate as a 3x 1st Team All-American, something only Stewart and Moore accomplished at Connecticut.

The problem is she isn't a strong 1 on 1 player and UCONN doesn't have the team chemistry and players to create great looks for her like they've been able to the past 2 years.  You lost the team's best playmaker in Williams along with a constant screener in Nurse, so as a result you don't get the same bevy of open looks for perimeter players.  Their replacements, C. Williams and Walker, each average under 2 assists per game and quite frankly don't work nearly as hard off the ball as Nurse and G. Williams do.  UCONN's big 3 are all strong passers but they don't have the vision and playmaking ability that Williams did, so the offense struggles.

I'm not really sure what's the best way to work around the limitations of the team, but I don't think turning KLS into a playmaker is the best solution.
