I agree with Sluconn on the Gabby, MW Comparison. The only thing is I think Megan will surprise some people with her ability to rebound but she can't dribble, pass or defend like Gabby. Honestly though, we don't need her to be Gabby nor do I want her trying to fill those shoes next year. We will have to make up her production by committee, which is what I'm arguing. Our defense is about team rotation, far more than 1 on 1 coverage. As Geno has said in the past, you can't stop great players with 1 player.

In 16/17, much of our offense was ran through Gabby but 17/18 it transitioned to Lou & Crystal more. Many of Gabby's assists came off fast breaks & steals. I think with the departure of Gabby & Kia we just won't be the same run & gun team we've been, which again, is okay. We have talent to win in the half court. This is why I see Pheesa having a huge year.

I can see your concerns, some of them aren't unwarranted but it's April. These girls have 7 months to develop & improve. I tend to lean towards the positive side as we've seen how our staff can develop young players. Wouldn't expect anything different in 18/19.
