Message: [QUOTE="Inthepaint, post: 4082860, member: 11386"] Using the vision her height gives her, screening and rolling to the basket, passing inside from the high post, Using her quickness to spin around defenders under the hoop, have all been her strengths. There are qualities that have kept her out on the court and starting the last two years. Her shortcomings don't automatically cancel out the positive contributions she makes. Not providing the scoring required to pull defenders off Christyn, Paige & Evina in tight games, not being able (willing?) to impose herself in the low post (see Liya) against quality bigs, committing dubious fouls, are the major causes of our collective eye-rolling in the past. Not sure who is currently working with the front court players (CD, Jamelle, Morgan?) to let them know what is expected of them, not only individually, but in the various combinations that will be appearing during a game. Liv and Liya, Liya and Dorka, Dorka and Liv, Liv and Caroline, so forth and so on. Our bigs will be juggling different responsibilities depending on who's on the court with them. If we have the people to go in and take care of some aspects while leaving Liv to continue to do the things at which she excels (and gives the other team headaches) , why not use every weapon at our disposal rather than benching somebody ?
