Consistency re Olivia isn’t remotely the first word that comes to mind. My point is that her distance shooting is excellent when (the right phrasing gets tough here) she catches the right ball in rhythm, doesn’t take time to blink or think, and then releases her shot. That’s a sweet stroke that we see often enough to realize it exists. The rest of her game is open to question. And that’s been the case from day one. And not likely to change during her final months as a Husky. She is who she is…tall enough to [I]sometimes [/I]be the perfect interior target on O and [I]sometimes [/I]a formidable presence on D. Rebounding most balls most 6’5” players should corral but not always. Her passing, when not tangled in a whither of arms and elbows , is ok. All of this stuff has been on display for nearly 4 years and, for better or worse, it’s what we have at center…no one else on the roster can play the position better at present. And Liv plays it best when the collective play of the others means she simply can react…not when she blinks, thinks, and suddenly who knows what may ensue. A healthy Bueckers orchestrating first rate ball movement is what we hope for (duh) and that means much better play for Olivia (duh) …occasionally a thing of beauty. [/QUOTE]
