Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3591769, member: 10435"] I have been assuming since the end of last season that the defense this coming year will be the same as it was at the end of last season. I think it is fair to make that assumption since it transformed the team and also due to the fact that we will have one thing this year we haven't had since 2016- depth. To that end, I had not seen a lot of footage on Mir and I wanted to see if she would thrive in a full court/ half court pressure defense. The answer is ABSOLUTELY. In fact, she reminds me a lot of Aubrey on defense. Very athletic, great anticipation, causes havoc, and has good speed with long strides in the open court. On offense she has her own attributes. She has a good handle and a 3. She also has a baby jumper which Griff either didn't have or didn't use last year and should use in conjunction with a ball or head fake underneath. I now see Mir as part of the pressing rotation, perhaps spelling CW or in any of the several combinations and permutations that are possible next year. Just another reason to be excited. [/QUOTE]
