Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2559354, member: 7511"] One other comment about Pheesa as a shot blocker. At 6’1” she has the best shot blocking fundamentals I’ve ever seen. I just hope Z watches her and learns. Pheesa focuses on the ball, never goes for a shot fake and has the amazing ability to block shots with either hand, which means she never has to reach across her body to block a shot, which reduces the possibility of fouling. Pheesa’s timing is remarkable. She waits until the shooter commits and a split second later she elevates with her arms upright and slightly angled toward the shooter. She doesn’t swing down toward the shooter, again limiting the possibility of fouling. Pheesa’s blocks don’t end up in the stands. Much like legendary Celtic Bill Russell, her blocks tend to be more like tipped passes which Pheesa or one of her teammates often recover and head the other way on a break. It’s a beautiful thing.
