Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5342021, member: 44"] We have two potential all Americans returning, backed up by very good veterans, and some incredibly strong additions. Through all of that, I think Williams may be the key edition this year. She allows Strong to play predominantly as a stretch four, a position that is a nightmare matchup for opposing teams. Williams is also a big physical presence in the paint and an established scorer down low. That just makes us a nightmare to match up against. Think about our likely starting five. If you sag off of any one of them for help defense, you are going to pay. We've got an unselfish, good shooting, good passing team with the ability to score at all three levels. I think we're going to be incredibly dangerous next year. Those of you who know me know that I am very hesitant to predict success in the preseason, but I see the [I]possibility[/I], at least, of this year's team being [I]better[/I] than last year's team, even with the loss of our all American, Wade trophy winning, generational player Paige Bueckers to the WNBA. Of course, it goes without saying that we are still doomed, but I like the way this team looks on paper. A lot. [/QUOTE]
