Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 2899666, member: 7093"] Mikayla's shot has almost no prayer of entering the hoop. It seems to begin with two hands on the ball, below her waist, and then gets launched somewhere around her mid-section. Her eyes cannot line-up with the ball and the target. So she misses most shots ( certainly from the arc ) badly. And her outside shot is easy to defend. Her scoring will come from lay-ups only, unless she totally revises how she launches her jump shot, and it is a bit late for that (can you righties become lefties in a season?) You are all finally reminding me of the flaws I saw in her game last season ( when she was " healthy" ). She may become a decent defender; hopefully she can see the court well and pass effectively, and she can drive to the hoop. But her outside shot is a liability. And, for a UCONN, guard, that won't cut it. So don't expect to find a hidden gem here. She will not, in my view, be a significant player. [/QUOTE]
