Message: [QUOTE="64Zcode, post: 3405096, member: 10373"] I remember reading a quote from Crystal right after she came back after sitting out a couple games. She was asked about Molly’s performance in her absence and her reply was something like “Coach is always getting on Molly for playing too fast, but I think she’s solid”. That is how I remember it, but I can’t find the article online, maybe it was in print only. Pretty sure it was from a blurb in the Waterbury Rep-Am and I probably didn’t get the quote 100% accurate. Molly has been playing aggressive defense in the last few games that she’s been in and created some good things with her hustle. Still passing up some open shots, and that’s unfortunate, but her defensive energy has been very good, IMO. She’s been successful at disrupting the opponent’s playing numerous times, often leading to good things at the other end of the court. Just because I had some time, I went back to look at the “Top 5 Plays” that were posted for the games that Molly played in more than a minute or two, including the exhibition games. Surprisingly, a play that included Molly was in more than half of those videos, a couple of them were deemed the #1 play. I thought that I remembered her showing up in a lot of those. Granted, none of this can be considered ‘hard data’ and I’m sure that someone can whip up a spreadsheet or formula to beat me over the head with to prove that she is of little value to the team. I, however, enjoy watching the game a little more when Molly is playing, Molly having the ball is no longer a [I]guaranteed[/I] turnover. (Hopefully I didn’t just jinx things by saying it out loud) At the risk of sounding all “sunshine and lollipops”, I think she brings something positive (although maybe sometimes intangible) to the big picture, something that isn’t measured necessarily under a column of numbers. [I][/I] Still a Molly fan here[I].[/I] [/QUOTE]
