Message: [QUOTE="domerduck, post: 3761989, member: 10178"] To me the two biggest surprises this year is Pao Pao starting at point and Boley's all around game as she comes out of the shadow of the Big 3 and is becoming the quiet leader on this team. First off, some may have expected Paopao since Graves said she reminded him of Sabrina and her high school coach at Country Day said she was the best player he ever coached over both Candice Wiggens and Kelsey Plum. She's been the obvious starter at point as I thought he would have Taylor Chavez & Jaz Shelley starting at the 2 guards. The bigger deal is Erin's improvement from her previous 2 years. Her all around game has been tremendous so far., especially the last 3 games once she accepted the fact that letting Mikesell play the 3 point sniper on this team is good. She's not pressing anymore to try to stand in a 3 point place to wait for a pass. She is moving all around., but still will take her 3 in the flow of the game. Her positional D has always been good, but she seems quicker with her hands and fast to the ball, getting more offensive rebounds which Ruthie and Sabrina used to scarf up. She is one of the PAC12 players who have played at least 20 min/game, who have more than 30 pts/40min. The other two are Haley Jones of Stanford and Cate Reese of Arizona, who both are under the basket players who neither have made a 3 points shot. Erin is shooting 44.4% from 3's having made 8 three pointers in the 4 games. She also is averaging better than 10 rebounds/40, 2 steals/40, and 2 assists/40. All these stats include that subpar first game agaisnt the weakest opponent where she only had 8 points and missed her 4 three pointers. The big test will be against Oregon State in Corvallis next Sunday to see how the Ducks play and who leads the team then. [/QUOTE]
