Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 3428945, member: 7093"] I agree with you. It is a " Big Ask" to expect this team to peak in 6 weeks. That requires Olivia to change from "learning her position" to using it to her advantage; it requires her to become a true threat shooting from distance, and to make that fade away jump shot one that cannot be stopped ( and is converted 80% of the time). It requires her to become as talented with her left hand, as she is with her right. And it requires her to be smarter on defense, whereby she can defend and pass well, block shots, and avoid foul trouble. It requires Megan to avoid poor decisions, which have turned into unforced errors, and turnovers. It requires her to be a more reliable shooter. She is already good enough on her drives to the hoop and rebounding. It requires Christen Williams to "jump shift" from a player with "potential" to a tenacious threat from anywhere on the court. She can't miss her first outside shot and disappear. She can't go 1-13. She can't miss lay-ups. And she has to make free throws. Dangerfield is already there. Just stay healthy. And our fifth starter cannot be Kyla. It has to be Makurat and she has to be cool and on her game. I can see an important role for Griffin...as a player off the bench.... who will disrupt, create turnovers, and rebound. But she is useless if she cannot "finish" the opportunities she creates. Or be certain that a teammate will. That ( all of the above ) is BIG ASK. [/QUOTE]
