Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3847228, member: 26"] I have no idea what's going on behind the scenes. I LOVE Evina's tough love approach. Christyn is a junior and this is not her first rodeo, as they say. I really thought she would thrive this season. I did not feel she meshed well with Meghan on the court last season. IMHO when Meghan received a pass, the offense suddenly stopped as she held on to the ball for far too long before making a decision. Don't get me wrong - Walker was terrific last year and deserved 1st team AA, but I just didn't see where her play complemented Christyn's. Fast forward to this season - I thought Christyn would be back to better numbers - even better than her freshman season where she shot over 36% from beyond the arc. I thought her energy and strength on defense would lead to energy on offense. Instead we've witnessed he planting herself behind the arc (2-12 Georgetown), or just making mistakes and seeming a step slow. 27% from 3 means you do NOT attempt more than 1-2 per game at most. And her misses are literally wide open. The amount of airballs she's hoisted, even from closer in, is just weird. I can't speak to what ails her. If it was just shooting woes, it would be one thing, but how is it Evina, Paige, Nika and Aubrey are able to find holes in the defense to drive to the basket for layups, but Christyn seems to have lost that ability? Where is her defensive intensity? I have no answers. I'm not living with her like her teammates, and I don't see her in practice like the coaches. I would be shocked if Geno or CD or Shea has not sat down with CW and tried to figure out what is going on. I have no answers, but this is not T-League where everyone gets to play. At this point, give her goals for the first 5-7 minutes of a game (whatever the coaches feel that should be). If she's not achieving them, sit her till the 2nd half and give her the same chance. There are plenty of players on the team who would love her minutes. [/QUOTE]
