Brunelle was second on the team in rebounding and assists, tied for second in scoring, and led the team in blocked shots. She averaged the most minutes by a little so that has something to do with the totals but she was at 22.8 vs. six others in the 16.4 - 21.2 range. She had a 1.7 A/TO so her passing was pretty good as well. Her shooting was definitely off for the tournament, but she didn't force things and was very good at providing help on defense - hence the blocks.

I thought Watson looked like an interesting prospect but wish someone would work on her shooting motion - she has a very low release and a serious hitch - almost a shot put from shoulder height. It is effective but likely a holdover from younger days when she didn't have the arm strength and needed her whole body to get the ball to the rim.

And yeah, coaching on this team seemed a lot better than on the previous U16/U17 - I think the team is a bit more skilled which helps, but the substitutions, the defense, and the offensive flow just seemed better. (It would be interesting to get Brunelle's take on the change in coaching.)
