Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3322865, member: 6620"] The good things about an exhibition game loss against the currently rated #1 college team in the U.S. are: - it's an exhibition game; - helps you assess what you have and, perhaps more importantly, what you don't. We know this team didn't -- but will -- have the overwhelming front-court firepower of EDD, Stewie, A'ja and Brittany Griner. You have those four avaiable, then add in Ms. Charles, and most other international teams are in trouble. Griner plays so very well in the international format that it's scary. Maybe it's the trapezoid lane, but she always seems to be a presence on offense. And having a 6/9" center to anchor the defense is an ace in the hole. What this and other games can do is see that the the long-awaited need to address guards is coming up soon. These games will help with the "funnel" process as I call it. Defense and quickness are two attributes that should be looked for to add into the mix. Stay tuned. [/QUOTE]
