I was watching Kaleena on almost every offensive set and she many times wasn't moving well without the ball (i.e. standing at the 3 point line and only taking a step to the right or left as the defense shifted). As a sophomore she was consistently the #1 option on offense and she is slowly moving toward the #4 or even #5 option (1. stewie 2. tuck 3. jefferson as of late).
Despite what many say, I believe she is in shape, but still believe has gotten slower as she has gotten older. I don't doubt her conditioning, I doubt her foot speed. She no longer has the ability to take players on the bounce and seems to be exclusively looking for open 3 point attempts. I said it at the beginning of the year, I think she isn't the same player she was before injury and at this point, I think this is who she will round out her career as. An excellent if not the best shooter to come through the program…not bad. But in all honesty, go back and watch film of Baylor vs. Uconn in the XL center her sophomore year and tell me she was not a better all around player then. I do think she is going through a mid season slump, but I also think her reduced quickness isn't helping.
Ultimately, I do think she needs to work on her quickness and her versatility on offense. If she can be face guarded rather effectively in college, it should not be a problem in the WNBA as well.
