Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4070490, member: 9844"] I want to double down on Coco's comments that it is not about her inability to score, but her impact on offensive flow. In terms of offensive production Aubrey is above average in both her rate of scoring and efficiency. Does she produce points efficiently? Yes, but some on the Boneyard have labeled her an unable to score which is just false. She just doesn't do it in a traditional way or as Coco points out within the offensive flow. Frequently a good spot up three point shooter that can't create their own shot will not score at a higher rate than a good slasher/offensive rebounder because their opportunities are limited to when the defense leaves them open. What they can provide that does not show up in their personal numbers, however, is floor spacing which clearly helps the other players on the floor. As a backup but undersized PF to Aaliyah I think she is very good even if she doesn't have a well defined role in a set offense, but it would be better if she did. The deeper roster could actually help her in a couple of ways. First if we press more and push the pace on offense that would work to her favor. Second we added superior outside shooting with Azzi, Caroline, and perhaps Dorka and Sailor. If you have some great three point threats on the floor at the other positions, their ability to spread the floor minimizes Aubrey's inability to do the same and may provide more room for her slashing to the basket.
