Message: [QUOTE="DEpup, post: 5095159, member: 8579"] I think we are getting into the same debate with MN as we do with UConn about big sizes since the style is so similar. They need a mobile big, a big who can defend on the perimeter, and who can hit outside shots. There really aren't many of them over about 6' 4" where Smith is. Dolson is really the only other person I'd throw in there and she doesn't run the floor like she used to. Nothing against her. Time is cruel. You could also pay big money and get JJ. IMO, everyone else taller than Smith would force a different style of play. Smith I think also complements what Phee is doing inside and that is the most important thing. Phee is the star so the pieces have to work around her game. You could put a lumbering big body in there but that would just get in Phee's way. You need someone like Smith who can quickly relocate and open up cutting space for Phee. I'd like to see Dorka get past her nagging injuries and be able to give more high level minutes at the 5. I think Smith is doing just fine. They won the first game of the finals against the super team! [/QUOTE]
