Message: [QUOTE="WestCoast, post: 3540194, member: 10114"] As an OSU fan who has seen virtually all of Goodman's games during her first three seasons, it is very apparent how teams have scouted her and have effectively defended her. Goodman is relentlessly crowded by her defender and forced to dribble. She is an elite shooter, but struggles to create separation when initiating the offense or when trying to shoot off the bounce. Goodman is an intelligent player. I don't think that playing in a number of 3v3 tourneys during 2019 negatively impacted her during the '19-'20 season. It probably sped up her decision-making processes and taught her how to compete better defensively when she was being posted up and isolated during her appearances on the USA 3v3 team in 2019. Unlike what willtalk asserted in his post above, the vast majority of Goodman's minutes were spent with both Slocum and Pivec on the court. Claiming that Goodman was not on the court at the same time as Slocum and Pivec is nonsense and another indicator that willtalk posts info that simply isn't accurate. Slocum was the primary ball handler for the Beavs, but Goodman would initiate the offense on occasion when Slocum moved to the wing for a possession or more. When Goodman was at the point, she was hounded on the perimeter and often attempted to use one or two high screens to make her entry pass and often ate up 15-18 seconds of the shot clock before making her initial pass. The offense "flowed" (as willtalk likes to post) better when Slocum was at the point because she could initiate the offense more quickly as well as beat her defender off the dribble when needed. Goodman started the first 18 games of the season, then came off the bench for the team's final 14 games as Kat Tudor was inserted as a starter. Goodman would benefit significantly from having a teammate create shots for her, rather than being the primary point guard. Hopefully, OSU coaches are continuing to scour the portal for point guard options for next season. [/QUOTE]
