Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5099027, member: 12088"] I like Stuelke too. Phee isn’t the right comparison. Czinano makes more sense. Like Monika, Hannah has decent low post moves and, in true Iowa style she knows how to receive a pass and put the ball up quickly without dribbling. Plus, she’s strong and knows how to establish herself on the block to receive a pass. She’s also a strong rebounder and defender. These skills alone aren’t enough to succeed in the W, as they haven’t been for Czinano either. She’ll need to develop a midrange and perimeter game for that. But they can be formidable in D1. Hannah also runs the court quite well and can get out in transition, which wasn’t really a part of Czinano’s game. To return to the related issue, I think Lucy Olsen will find Hannah to be a much more effective passing target than Dalce was. I expect her assist numbers to go up. The no-dribble post partner is a great formula for assists, and it will work for Lucy just as it did for Caitlyn. Also, Iowa’s style of play, with a quick post player and a bunch of spot-up shooters very much played to Caitlyn’s strengths as a passer and also boosted her assist numbers. It would have been different if her teammates were looking to create off the dribble. But this isn’t the style of play Lisa Bluder trained them for. Lucy will benefit from this style as well, and since unlike Caitlyn she hasn’t been prone to seek the “hero pass,” this is likely to help her a/to numbers as well. [/QUOTE]
