Message: [QUOTE="jazz, post: 3816413, member: 10942"] To use your phrase 'I'll believe when I see it' is starting to become more prevalent with me as it relates to both CW and AM because they continue to be inconsistent. I've seen this now for a while and they both get substantial minutes. Both can be contributors but I'm thinking a bit less than I originally projected. To be clear I thought CW would be flat out amazing my now and be first team AA. She is still inconsistent and seems to be lost in her own head sometimes. She is so darn talented that you think she can turn it around. I mainly worry that she will have an inconsistent game when we need her to have a big game in a big game. AM is shooting less effectively that I thought she would at this point...very streaky. I worry that in big games, she may be off. I thought she could top out at 12 points per game but now I'm not sure. I just hope she breaks out soon. She is still a very good player to have because her passing is so darn good and she is a good rebounder and average defender as well. Good on the break and with the ball in her hands....all this playing the 4 spot. I still believe the threat of her three point shot still opens things up but she isn't getting the 12 pts I thought she might and she has had open shots. However, I think she will hit them eventually as she did last year....but will she nail a 3 pointer at the time we need her to in a big game? This is really what I am starting to worry about. I've seen much less of NM in comparison to AM and CW. But I do think she can be a contributor. Not a huge one, maybe 10-12 minutes tops in big games....but heck, she has the best player in America in front of her. Geno was trying to see how PB and NM could play together in the last game however. So I don't think NM will be a huge contributor because she has PB in front of her, but I think she can play and contribute some quality minutes which is great to have from a backup point. Saylor I have only seen clips but I am hopeful that by late March she can give us 1-2 threes a game and be a threat from three so that when she comes in, she stretches the defense and it keeps the middle free for Liv to operate.
