Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4372264, member: 3834"] Agreed! This incessant attempt to elevate Nika to a status she has in no way earned on the court has always been a great puzzlement! Yes! She is scrappy, energetic, and an effective defender! However, that’s about it. She is very ineffective on offense, a poor shooter, an average (at best) passer, and a woeful free throw shooter. Even so, I’m glad she’s on our team, but to picture her as “most important”, best (at anything), or somehow, indispensable to the overall success of our team would require ignoring most of the evidence at hand. Could she come back as a vastly improved player? Possibly, but I think it’s far more likely that she will have improved at a more modest level. If she can force the other team to actively guard her, improve her ast/to ratio, up her free throws to 70+, and reduce her predilection for fouling, I will be extremely happy. [/QUOTE]
