Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 5296076, member: 11020"] Dallas is a team that management put together as a support group around Paige. I always thought that Dallas was a very poor run franchise, and that thought was supported when everyone left. Paige is a finesse player, the team around her, except for a couple of players, are physical players that enjoy the one on one game. Hines-Allen, Carrington, Smith, Maddy seem to be comfortable in the leadership of Paige, but unfortunately none of these players can consistently shoot at a decent percentage. It is evident that the team needs a Big girl in the middle, which I think Betts can solve, or another veteran can solve. They also need someone, anyone who can hit an outside shot. If you watched the Mercury game, you saw just about every 3 point attempt was a brick, not even close to going in. Arike is trying, but her shooting is the worst of her career according to records. One player that isn't always mentioned is Ty Harris. She has been a favorite of mine since she came to the Sun, and as the only other point guard on the team she is able to give Paige a small blow. But, best of all, she allows Paige to play off the ball as Geno liked to do, and if Paige is going to take over the scoring, Ty is one of the best to help her out. Unfortunately, Ty is out for the year with knee problems, so Paige will be playing a lot of minutes, and somehow, she must navigate the process with the players that are left. Paige gets them the ball, but the season does not depend on the ability of Paige, but the ability for the rest to make shots. Tough situation for Paige, but we know that her faith and natural ability will get her through the season, hopefully the rest of the team will totally buy in and improve by the end of the year.
