Message: [QUOTE="hjoerring, post: 3119010, member: 3630"] You are over stating your point. Kelly was never one that teams guarded; yes, she got better-- or, took shots towards the end. But seriously ... All themes are going to forced one or more players on a team to beat them. This will be the case with Coombs or even MW. I'm not a bb genius but the problem for Coombs this year is not her outside (or even inside) shooting, it is that the Uconn offfense was not equipped to handle a penetrating guard dumping the ball to post players. See Baylor, MSU and others with bigs. As a result, she created for players not there and if they were, very little could be done. Jefferson had Tuck, Steward, Kia, etc. That isn't a part of Dangerfield's game. Whenever she goes to the basket it is to score a layup, or it's a broken play. There are very few D1 basketball players who cannot become better shooters after a summer of intensive training. I would be surprise if she isn't light years away from what we saw this year. As for the fellow non-starters, I doubt that all players are recruited with the intent of them ever being starters. A lot of schools carry players who will never enter a game. Yet, they have an important role on the team. [/QUOTE]
