Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4822663, member: 3834"] I think, as KK becomes more and more reliable you are going to see Geno using the bench on Nika. Her (Nika’s) turnovers are becoming a real problem now that we no longer have much of a margin for error! Most of her turnovers are due to really fundamental, basic mistakes like high risk passes to a player who has two people on them, passing into a dead end where the receiving player has nowhere to go, dribbling into traps etc, mistakes that an experienced player should no longer be making on such a regular basis. I think (hope) Geno knows that this is a problem that can (and must) be fixed if we are to have any chance in the tournament. She’s got to get the turnovers down to three or four max which seems eminently doable as almost all her turnovers are as a result of poor judgement on her part. Frankly, I was shocked at some of the things I saw her do today. I realize there’s a fine line between stopping the turnovers and taking away the aggressive, passing instinct that makes her an effective distributor but imo, Geno needs to use the conference slate to show Nika and the whole team actually some tough love to try to eliminate what has really always been a problem but which is now, due to our limited roster, becoming intolerable. She is a vital component of this team but her (and others) turnovers are holding the team back from reaching it’s potential! [/QUOTE]
