Several observations, I think KK and Kayleigh looked very good together, more so on the defensive end than on offense, but good on both. On the defensive end at the head of the press they could be terrific. Pairing them with Blanca, Sarah and Serah in a pressing lineup is really scary.
The downside to that lineup is mediocre three point shooting except for Sarah, and obviously Azzi is going to be a part of most combinations which alleviates that issue, but as a defensive unit or for a few minutes a game that combo looks like a superstar defensive unit.
Thinking on the offensive side with KK and Kayleigh together the ball movement is good, but it makes the need for the third perimeter player to be a very good three point shooter, probably not Blanca, but Azzi, Ash, or Caroline. Then of course Sarah's versatility allows her on offense to play like a perimeter player with a good 3 pt shot.
There are so many interesting combinations to sort out, all with many major strengths and a few less serious weaknesses.
As I watched our bigs I was struck by how many have the mobility and quickness to guard on the perimeter. Ayanna may not make the rotation, but she can defend guards on the perimeter, as can Sarah, Sera, and Blanca, all 6-2 or greater. On the frustrating end is how many bigs we have that are having trouble making shots at the rim. Jana had trouble last year, and still looks rushed this year, and Ayanna has always been weak there too. Surprisingly Serah is having trouble too, but in her case, the new system might have something to do with it, and her prior track record doesn't suggest it is a problem.
