I agree. I haven’t seen more recent video than the summer games, but the areas she says she working on are court awareness and being in the right place at the right time. I suspect her coach is also working on polishing her post moves so she doesn’t miss contested layups. And maybe developing a midrange game — the midrange is what propelled Iriafen to the next level and probably into the lottery.
Gandy can be a really good college player without perfecting her midrange scoring — Kiah did it after all — as long as she hoovers up all the defensive rebounds and defends well. There will be plenty of scorers around her in Storrs. But add to her offensive arsenal and she will be something really impressive. Slow bigs are one thing, they can be useful, even essential to winning. But bigs with real foot speed like Gandy are rare, like A’ja or Stewie rare. The ceiling is very high for her.
