Lou's play in the WNBA

[WFFL]

You don't know that. Take off Arike and some of those wild shots would not have been taken and some other player may have taken and hit a better shot. Other players may have stepped up as many players did this season. They may have won more games playing team ball. We will never know.

I know , and dont worry it will never happen . As stated before if it were a choice of one of the 2 , the obvious choice ..........................

I thought Arike played really well and was being more unselfish when she had Gray, Mabrey, and Sabally in the starting 5 with her. I noticed that her and Gray's chemistry was evolving, and Arike was finding her a lot open at the 3. It's hard to find consistent team play when you keep losing starters.

I think that if they are going to continue with Mabrey starting next year, Arike will have to be the main playmaker. She can breakdown a defender probably better than any other in the league. I dont see how MoJeff can fit on this team tbh. I think they should try to trade her for more depth in the post.

I'm not sure what KLS' issues are. I felt like her and Mabrey were basically the same players, but KLS is four inches taller. She has to be more selfish IMO. Maybe it's her shooting mechanics and not really being able to shoot of the dribble? Mabrey's mechanics are different because of height and not as long arms, so she gets shots off and has started to hit them. She is supposed to be a scorer, but she's honestly just been a decoy so far in her career.

Wonder if Lou is having reoccurring issues with foot/ankle. At times seems stiff on offense although her defense has improved. Perhaps she just needs a season of European basketball where she is a team's star and gets her mojo back.

KLS and KML: birds of a feather. Neither can (nor did at UConn) create a shot off the dribble. Both shoot from the shoulder, which is a huge liability if not wide open.

Lou does not shoot from her shoulder

Lou does not shoot from her shoulder

Perhaps you are technically correct. It's from the chin, not the shoulder. Same horizontal plane, different vertical plane. Point remains; she shoots from too low, which negates any height advantage, and does not facilitate a jump shot OVER a close-in defender. Thus, if she cannot create space to shoot off the dribble, her scoring opportunities are limited. Combined with weak defense and rebounding..........................destined to ride the pines.
