I know exactly what you mean. I had a similar sentiment watching this game. But something Walz said in his presser has me thinking.

He was talking about KK and how her impact in pushing the pace is not really reflected in her assist numbers. I think this also applies to Nika. [B]Yes, she had way too many turnovers.[/B] But I suspect Geno really wants the two of them on the court simply to force everyone to push pace. Unless the ball moves fast, you can’t easily accomplish this.

Geno said something else that’s sort of relevant, that he liked the quick passing. He observed that when they pass like this the ball “feels light” and they have better movement. But when they don’t move well in the half court offense the ball starts to “feel heavy.”

I think he’s willing to tolerate “nightmare” turnover numbers from Nika [B]for now[/B], because he expects them to get it under control but retain the habit of moving without the ball. This may be better in his book then having a slow walk up the court and an overly deliberate half court offense. I doubt he’ll make any changes in his starting lineup before January, and maybe not even then.
