Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3187059, member: 6620"] Have to take a long-range view of all posts at this age, but the fact that Lauren Betts is starting, added 16 points and had 5 blocks caught my eye. 6'7" also catches my eye. I saw the ESPNw article on her and see that Keith Van Horn is working with her. Here's his analysis: "You can tell she's been around the game with the way she keeps the ball high and makes the right reads," said Van Horn, who coaches Betts on her Colorado Premier AAU team. "She's pretty instinctive, with great hands and a feel for blocking shots and knowing how to position herself so she can effectively use her height. She picks things up quickly, and that isn't always the case with kids her age. "The next step is for her to develop confidence with her shooting range. She has a nice touch, and I think she will be a solid outside shooter. She has to develop go-to moves and counters, but she has the talent to play at a big-time level. She is already being recruited by a majority of the top-10 teams in the nation." [/QUOTE]
