Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2938412, member: 26"] I think/hope she will get it and be a solid contributor. I was more impressed with her defense than offense. There were stretches where she stood still on offense (not moving - but in fairness, even the starters were guilty of that at times), completely missed a wide open drive to the hoop (opted to pass instead), and seemed unsure of her "instincts" on offense. If I had to guess, she's still having a hard time adjusting to being coached to "unlearn her bad habits from high school", and lacks confidence to make quick decisions when she gets the ball. IMHO she will become much more fluid as the bad high school habits move further away in the rear view mirror, and she feels more confident and comfortable running things in a motion offense. Also, a consistent mid-range game is a must (including a pull up jumper and the ability to use her right hand to make layups). I don't know if her ceiling is high enough to ever be a starter - I think she will battle Griffin for the 5th starting spot next season (I already have ONO penciled in as the 4th starter). I think she can get there, but it will take some hard work in the off season... [/QUOTE]
