Message: [QUOTE="MilfordHusky, post: 3407601, member: 366"] Ok, my friend, I'll try to answer all your questions: Demeanor on the bench for all of the 2 minutes that she sat seemed fine, to the extent that I could see (view was partially blocked). She seemed attentive and cheering. On offense, Saylor moved--a lot. She would cut into the lane for passes and usually redirect the ball. She also ran the baseline to get open in the corner. I liked her movement. Maybe she wasn't Rip Hamilton or a Whirling Dervish, but she was moving and hustling almost constantly. She also ran hard several times. Saylor is in great shape. Hustling to huddles? I don't recall. There was no lingering, however. Encouraging of teammates--absolutely. She was engaged and high-fived her teammates several times. No pouting, no moaning, no bad attitude. Nothing close to those. On defense, she maintained her position, though she often came out to guard a player or pressure the ball early in the shot clock. She also rebounded very well out of the 2-3 zone. Frankly, I saw no negatives. What does she need to improve? The standard answer at UConn is "everything." For her age, I saw no deficiencies. Things she can work on: get stronger (see Lou, Stewie, et al.), turn her shot from a good one to a great one (currently, Megan and Crystal are better shooters, but Saylor can get to their levels), expand her repertoire, especially under the basket. I look forward to watching her at Middletown, UConn, and beyond. [/QUOTE]
