Message: [QUOTE="jonson, post: 4100481, member: 6034"] To me, offense has not been one of Stanford's strengths for some time now: Tara seems to depend upon defense and (too heavily in my view) a go-to scorer when things get tight. Williams was the latter for the past couple of years now; before that, if I remember correctly, it was Alana Smith and, before Alana, Brittany McPhee. This year's replacement (for Williams)? Jones is the obvious choice, especially given her ceiling and play in last year's tournament, but the Jones we saw today looked to me like the Jones of her freshman year and last year's regular season: not as assertive as one would hope, too many turnovers, etc., etc. Maybe Lexie Hull can fulfill that function, since no one would ever accuse her of being too passive, but she's also inconsistent. In any case, I think one or the other needs to step up if Stanford is to be the team most of us thought they'd be. [/QUOTE]
