J Danberry is a great complimentary player and she is a great example of how an athletically gifted player can be dominant in spurts. However she is not “the straw that stirs the drink”. Right now we also don’t have that go to player when we need a basket. J Danberry’s range is too limited to isolate her against another player in a half court set. I think we have two and maybe three freshmen that will be capable of that sooner rather than later as R Jackson and A Matharu physically can do things others can’t physically guard. Both just need experience to make better decisions.

I believe Mingo Young can be the straw. The dilemma is our PG has to learn the strong points for thr other players and that takes time playing with those players. My fear is that our potential straws do not get enough game time to learn the other players. Having too many choices is not always a good thing.

I wouldn’t disagree regarding Mingo-Young as I think she and Matharu will end up being our backcourt. However I don’t think either is ready yet to take a big leap in playing time or for her to overtake M Taylor as the starter.

An LSU team that would shoot 70% of their free throws every game would be a strong SEC team. An LSU team that could shoot 70% free throws and the three above average would be a close to elite. Especially with how they hold every team to their lows on offense.
