Here’s how I view the possibility of Serah Williams to UConn. She is not a necessity. But she would be one hell of an addition for several reasons:
If you don’t get your pocket picked against UConn, you’ll likely end up at a Block Party with Serah and Sarah doing the honors.
- Williams would give UConn a dominant frontcourt rotation along with Jana, Ice, Ayanna and newbie Gandy, not even considering that the Huskies can still go small with Sarah at the 5.
- Jana will continue to get better. Having Williams on the team will “lengthen the runway” for Jana to develop her considerable potential. They can be used as a 1-2 punch or together as a Big lineup.
- Williams takes some of the pressure off the guards to orchestrate the offense without Paige and Kaitlyn. Particularly early in the season, UConn’s offense is unlikely to be as fluid as this past year. Having a Big who can score consistently in the paint or clean up missed shots is one way to put up points while the team develops their offensive flow.
- The best thing is that UConn’s defense, which led the nation this past season, would be even better. Williams is an exceptional rim protector. She and KK in the starting lineup along with Azzi, Sarah & Ash is just plain scary for opposing offenses. Jana will continue to get better. Blanca looks like a big time defender and Ayanna, Ice, Morgan & Allie will all be + defenders coming off the bench. Gandy & Kellis both have excellent potential on the defensive side of the ball.
