Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 5349255, member: 9844"] Patterson is mostly in a battle with Ice. not a good start for her, but I think she looked fully recovered physically. She had a very raw game as a freshmen and seems to lack good basketball instincts. It's a shame because she has quite a bit more upside than Ice IMO, but needs way more developed skills, and better decision making. Ayanna's freshmen numbers were not encouraging, but I suspect she was injured for much of the season. After a few games she looked pretty good but her numbers tailed off badly after that, so I am hoping that her first year was not indicative of her true ability, and that she may be way more healthy now then she was then. As for Allie, we know she can shoot, but hasn't shown herself to be very good at other areas of the game. She looks a little slow to me defending smaller guards which has me thinking she might be viewed better as a 3 than a guard. She didn't rebound like a 3, but seems strong enough to be decent there. Some of her HS highlights showed her taking the ball strong to the hoop and finishing thru contact, and since some are concerned with our 3pt shooting, Allie some at the 3 might help that. Overall though I think both Ash and Blanca are way ahead of her at that position. Right now it looks like an uphill battle for both to get in the rotation. Possible but not probable, [/QUOTE]
