Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3155828, member: 7511"] While I love Crystal, and she has an arsenal of spectacular “playground” moves that she’s developed over the years playing against much bigger opponents, there is really no comparison between Crystal and Ionescu when it comes to finishing at the rim. Crystal pretty much needs a clear lane to finish at the rim. Otherwise she has to pull up and take a jumper or make some kind of spectacular running, one-hander high off the glass. On several occasions, particularly early in the season, Crystal was caught up in the air in the paint with nowhere to go with the ball, which usually resulted in a TO. At 5’11, Ionescu is a much stronger finisher at the rim. She can finish in traffic against bigger players and her exceptional body control results in numerous “and ones.” [/QUOTE]
