Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4955794, member: 12088"] We'll have a few "hard to the rim" players next season in Aubrey and Caroline -- not how most people think of her, but Caroline is a genius in the paint -- and Paige of course. And KK's driving will work better if Sarah and Jana are present, since it won't be so easy to close her down without allowing a pocket pass. And Morgan did a lot of "hard to the rim" play at Mitty HS. She's big at 6'2" with a quick first step. And yes, Sarah should be able to as well. It's not just one player we need for this, but a lineup that reinforces it, and we may have that next year. In the end, I think "hard to the rim" play makes the most sense in a motion offense, and Geno famously said as much two years ago in a practice when he was caught on film saying to Paige and Nika that you always have to be ready to break off a play and just go to the rim when an opportunity presents itself.
