Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4089672, member: 9844"] Oldude's points of interest are all good. I notice the additional posts have also brought up pace and fast breaking, and I hope more pressing, and whether we drive to the basket more. We have the depth to pick up the pace, and that has been debated in great detail on the Boneyard, but I find the idea of more driving to the basket very interesting as well. Our roster was not very conducive to that last year. Did we have a player who could penetrate, finish, or dish? Of course Paige can do those things, and in Aaliyah and Liv she had a couple of people to give it to down low off her penetration. What she didn't have was a knockdown three point shooter to kick back out to on those drives. She was the only one. Now we add Azzi and Caroline which can create far better spacing for anyone to drive, and a more dangerous threat for kickouts. When only one of your three wings scares the defense from long range (Paige last year) the defense can pack it in. This year more frequently we will have two on the court, and on occasion perhaps three (Paige, Azzi, Caroline). [/QUOTE]
