Message: [QUOTE="domerduck, post: 3300715, member: 10178"] You're correct on that Brazil game that none of the 3 others (besides Jackie Young) did well but it would have been most helpful if there were two wing players who could have both been able to make plays and score. I was commenting that 3x3 success requires great chemistry between the wings and inside players when they need scores. In the Pan Am games they had that with Sabrina and Ruthie who accounted for over 70% of USA's 144 points (Ruthie 51/79.6%, Sabrina 50/51.9%). The wings played the most minutes with Williams at 8.6 mpg and Sabrina at 7.9 mpg, but one of those two has to hit the 2's which Sabrina did big time making 19 (2.7/game) at a whopping 55.9%. Paige was this team's designated two point shooter hitting 2/game with a respectable 46.1% in the three uncontested pool games. I only felt it was unfair to rely on a high schooler to be that player in their one tight do or die game where she missed her 3 two point shots. Without seeing the game it's just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
