Only 8 minutes played. Hartley/Lewis 8 for 25. I believe if Doty had been able to play more minutes the outcome might have been different. Or not.
It's amazing that you think things are that simplified. If Caroline Doty isn't averaging dumpty dump points and someone else is, that automatically minimizes Caroline's importance. The fact is that when I've had the opportunity to observe, the team has been better offensively when Caroline is in the game, regardless of the bare statistics. Conversely I've heard so much about Kelly Faris and her stats and yet she is a significant liability on the offensive end of the floor and lately has been turning the ball over numerously. The value of some of the girls on this team can't be as black and white as a brief scan of the stat sheet. There are more nuances going on here!Based on what? That she is averaging 1/2 the scoring of either Hartley or Lewis???
