Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 2227369, member: 6819"] I just got around to watching the first half of the game vs Puerto Rico. Man, was that ugly. It looked like an SEC game. The worst shooting half vs an international opponent I've ever seen. Then I watched the second half. Boy-o. I'm going to watch the Argentina game tomorrow, but I don't expect this team to suddenly become sharp shooters overnight. Defensively and offensively the effort is always there. That's a big plus. These are all very young women so all of this can change next week. But. None of the bigs have shown me any good footwork inside. Almost everyone either shoots off rhythm, wrong footed, or off balance. Sam has nice form but hardly ever seems in rhythm. Clark seems to shoot with good form, but either shoot or pass. You can't do both. I don't know what to think about Horston. Fudd has nice quickness. Bueckers seems to run hot and cold, but has nice form. Bueckers also plays the passing lanes well. Cooke has a nice little handle. No one else really jumps off the screen. Their shooting percentage numbers aren't that bad, but their midrange percentage seems to me to be atrocious. All in all, none of their wins have been pretty. They'd have trouble against a team with length that spreads the floor, not necessary quick, and that shoots well from outside and rebounds. Also small quick penetrating guards would give them fits. Like many Euro teams. [/QUOTE]
