Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5355712, member: 12088"] I totally get this comparison. When I'm reminded of Morgan's game, the first thought that comes to me is 'efficiency.' she didn't waste time or movement once she got the ball. Of course, to get the position that made her efficiency possible, a lot of work had to be done. But it was hard to see on TV. I'm not sure Olivia is that efficient... yet. She's more of a flasher and a diver than a steady presence in the paint. But even this will come soon enough. Others have speculated about her setting screens for Sarah. I'm sure that will happen too. But I don't think she's quite as solid or strong as Ice or Jana. She seems lankier than either of them. That doesn't preclude settling screens, but it may not be her best thing, unless she bulks up quite a bit. Edit: Another way to think of Morgan’s efficiency is by comparison to Aneesah Morrow’s game. As a paint presence on offense and defense she’s remarkably efficient. Quick decisions, no wasted moves. Outside the paint, her game is a lot less efficient, even a bit incoherent. Aneesah may be better in the paint than Morgan. But from the midrange and the perimeter Morgan’s game was better. Olivia seems to have a perimeter shot like Morgan’s. But with her height, even if she’s less efficient than either of them in the paint now, she could well surpass either or both of them. Only time will tell. [/QUOTE]
