Washington shot 38% in the win. Indiana shot 27%. Not pretty.
I watched the game to see if Hamson got to play much.
Indy couldn't hit anything. They tried 3s and missed those and tried to drive but DC was playing good defense. Dupree wasn't hitting her shots even though I've always thought she was a pretty good shooter. Mitchell was trying to drive and was ineffective. Wheeler kept taking long jumpers and missing them. Gwathney tried an out of control drive and hurt herself. Achonwa was pretty ineffective playing center- they need to make her a power forward with Hamson in the middle. 6'7" vs 6'1"?
They have the makings of a nice team. January as a scoring guard- Wheeler as a point guard- Achonwa as power forward and Hamson as center. Mitchell, Larkins and Dupree can fill in as the small forward.
Hamson just needs time to acclimate to the team and learn how to work with them. They have to go out of their way to accommodate her though. Not many centers with her size that are as talented as she is.
It's up to Pokey to get it together. She let Fowles slip away so she shouldn't let Hamson do the same.
BTW- I'm free to give a helping hand, Pokey.
Glad to see she is doing well this season in DC
