Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3134443, member: 9403"] Because it's Scott Rueck, I'll give him some tremendous benefit of the doubt, but I'm really curious to see how his team gels together next year. He has a 5'7" point guard (Slocum), three shooting guards at or below 6' (Goodman at 5'9", Pivec at 5'10" and Tudor at 6'), and then like 5 players at 6'5" or taller. And Slocum in particular likes to push the pace, which probably would be hard to maintain with several very tall, lumbering posts. And IMHO, I thought part of Grymek's problem last season was that her plane of ball movement was not even close to being at the same level as her teammates, so lob passes to her were very diagonal, it was hard to get the ball inside to her off a bounce pass because it'd end up at her knees half the time, and she wasn't effective at kicking it back out for inside out opportunities. I'm not sure why, but somehow Gulich's 6'5" seemed like a much more manageable size to get the ball in and out. So despite some impressive roster stats It's not obvious to me how these players are all going to fit together, but I'm sure Rueck will figure it out, and it'll be fun to watch. [/QUOTE]
