Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2562652, member: 7492"] Spot on analysis. Batouly has shown glimpses of athleticism and instinct and offers that when playing truly solid front lines. That said, something must be going on at practice as she is almost universally the last one in every game. After Z, MW, to me, she Moore’s the most fluidly without hesitation or awkwardness of thinking “what do I do, oh yeah”... While I consider myself a pretty good assessor of spacing, movement and athleticism, there are more enlightened members here that may be seeing something different and can opine what BC is doing wrong and/or is not getting real chances to play. While Master Geno made a few positive comments about Kyla yesterday, I just don’t see it. She still commits far too many fouls and always looks to take the charge. I mean she is a solid 6’2” but is always falling on the floor. She never jumps straight up to contest or block a shot. While she spaces really well but out on the wing she can’t dribble penetrate like our other faster players, which BC can do. Kyla needs to either shoot the 3 or pass the ball back around. To me, solving our interior defensive concerns against the likes of a Baylor, Texas and MSU should have BC involved. Heck at least it’s 5 productive fouls in 5e worst case. Again, I know what a favorite Kyla is and deservedly so for all her hard work, however our immediate post defense needs someone more skilled. Now that said, I still think Geno is bemoaning a lack of depth too much. He has it and wants it to match his top 6, which will come with time and playing experience. See Crystal Dangerfield, KLS, Pheesa, Stewie, Mo... [/QUOTE]
