Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 3848898, member: 7093"] I am much the same. Big Griffen fan and want to see Mir emerge. However, I think we must be realistic. Aubrey has shown an increased willingness ( barely ) to shoot from outside this season. She has had limited success, and that has worked against her confidence. She certainly does not have the look a shooter. I think Mir took one shot from about 12 feet a few games ago, and converted it. But it was a " flat-footed" shot. That was her last attempt. Olivia also tends to launch her shots without any movement, other than her arms. As a result, none of these three ( so far ) have dependable accuracy. And opponents know it. If they would just watch films of Paige, they would see a co-ordinated and smooth body flow with every jump shot she swishes. It amazes me that kids could play so many years, and watch so much basketball to this point, and not get the rhythm needed to assure shots. I wonder if Mir was not a shooter in HS....just a person who scored lay-ups and off put backs from kids who were not as quick. I really hope she has a bigger game. But, the fact that she seems to be getting less time suggests that she is not showing much, other than what we have seen: make a disturbance, give or create fouls, and rebound..... usually, losing the ball in the process, or throwing it up into the ether, hoping to find that orange rim.
