Message: [QUOTE="Los24, post: 2967677, member: 7629"] Thanks for the reply. I agree with some of what you wrote and disagree with some as well. Not going to go down every point but a few I thought worth mentioning. The last part pointing out where Lou needs to improve I agree outside of her being a finesse player. She plays a very physical game and has had too in order to do what she does. I guess I disagree with her missing open shots in big games too. The two losses we had in the FF she shot 50% which was either top or near top for the game. I think she struggled to separate from very athletic defenders but was a focus of defenses to not let get open and also her teammates often do not get her the ball as quickly as she can get them the ball. In the close games this year she scored when it mattered in the second half. Pheesa is not a wing, she is a post player that happens to be 6'1" That is where her game is best suited. She is not a three point shooter, does not have a strong pull up jumper nor a great handle. She has great skills around the paint whether its driving from the foul line, hitting a fade away jumper or putting back a rebound for 2. My opinion but that is what I see. Lou played more her freshman season because she earned it, I don't buy into she didn't practice better etc... so I guess in this one case Geno said I am going to give it to someone that didn't earn it or puts us in the best position to win. Lou is the best 3 and that's why she plays there end of story. She was doing great in March before her foot injury, she was not skating by.... Lastly, since her sophomore year, she is the player that is last to go to the bench until the game is in hand. Geno has said more times than any other player in the last 3 years we are not the same team when Lou is not on the floor. Last point, I was not saying Lou was the most overall important player. Rather in the big game in the area we have fell short in our losses, I think she is the player we will need to go to. CW has this potential too but she is still a freshman. Also, I was just admiring her growth and improvement as a player this year. My opinion, I can have it, and it does not mean I am putting any other players down. That said, its silly and nonsense for folks to act as if some players are not more valuable. Pretty sure that Tom Brady (pains me to say it) is more important than than the punter even though the punter has an important role on the team and may have a big play pinning a team within there own 10 yard line. Same with LBJ, Jordan, Larry Bird, etc... team game but there are some players that are better and more important. In fact they even have awards for it I believe. I actually won a few of them and my teammates congratulated me. They knew I could not have done what I did without them doing their part but were not offended either that I was MVP, all league, player of the year, or what ever was the case. [/QUOTE]
