Message: [QUOTE="FanHam, post: 2994345, member: 7690"] Megan Walker is a very talented basketball player who is improving as her college career progresses. I can't help noticing she seems lost for extended periods of time, though, especially when rebounding. If you watch her under the boards, you'll notice that she rarely establishes position, instead she relies on her jumping ability and, because she doesn't have position established, she gets a lot of "reach over" fouls or, more often, she just gets out-dueled by an opponent with better position. Sometimes she'll inexplicably step [I]away[/I] from a position she's established, then try to out-jump everyone for the rebound. Maybe Geno has directed her to keep moving on defense rather than establish a position, in which case I'm wrong, but I think she would do a lot for her rebounding numbers - and her overall confidence - by learning how to use her size and strength to command a prime rebounding position, then use her leaping ability and jump straight up for the rebound. She gets one or two ticky-tack fouls reaching over people for rebounds every game, it seems. She's 6'1", strong and can jump over the moon. She should learn some post positioning basics and claim her territory under the boards. Given her assets and savvy, that territory should be large. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
