Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4584236, member: 12088"] That’s Kate Paye, and like CD she’s the Associate Head Coach. As for Jones, folks are right to say she [U]can[/U] play pg. But that doesn’t mean she should. Her passing isn’t really good enough to use her that way, even if her ability to drive the lane from all angles fits that position. She’s also not quite quick enough to cover the speediest pgs. This leaves you with a positionless scheme not out of choice but out of necessity because of all the defensive switching that will be needed. I’m not sure that’s optimal. She reminds me a bit of Christyn Williams, though she’s two inches taller. They’re both really strong and can drive the lane to great effect. Jones is bigger and can bang with the bigs a bit, though this isn’t also the best use of her talents. If you have someone of similar size and strength to guard Jones, she struggles. Most teams don’t have someone like that, and then she seems almost unstoppable. As it happens, Mississippi had Madison Scott and that caused problems. I suspect Aubrey would have been a good matchup for her too. I’m not sure SCar had a good matchup for her. Will she succeed in the W? I think so, just because of her resourcefulness. But she’s going to need a better perimeter shot, because banging with bigs doesn’t look like a good fit at that level. [/QUOTE]
