Message: [QUOTE="hjoerring, post: 2679890, member: 3630"] We can all nominate our favorite player, and many here are always for KLS. I don't that it will come from her. She has already taken on that role with some success. However, I think it will have to come from someone on the bench-- Kyla? (who can see what is needed and when to stick a knife in their teammates-- someone who can call it as they see it) and a starter on the floor. That starter has to be able to create their own shots. KLS is a great shooter, but she needs too many screens and picks to get open. 3-4 shots in the 2nd half of a champ.game? Says that you can be defended, and with your teammates trying to get you free. Crystal and Pheesa and maybe Megan. More than this Alpha mentality is needed. I think a number of players have to add additional features. Pheesa could add a stop and pop jump shot. Or more thereof. She likes the fadeaway and it is successful- but it is blocked by taller players. Continue to work on the 3ball, drive and dish a lot more. Crystal: Would like to see her go to the basket a lot more a la. Jefferson. Foot problems may have stopped her, but went to the basket a lot less that I would have liked. She has the ability to be more disruptive for the opponents. MW: her style of play is needed. Like Pheesa she is quite able to play in traffic and should do so. KLS: Cont with the passing, posting game. As I said about Pheesa- add a little Stewie by refusing picks, drive-hop-and pop. (players a bigger and quicker at the next level, and you will have to get yourself open/free) I liked last year fr.class and think they have the talent to play well, but were insecure. Throw that out the window. Soph class: My eyes are on them. Fluidity and refinement is a key here. And they should be a lot more adept at finishing around the basketball. Molly Molly: I have fallen into a love/hate relationship. She has at least one feature tht reminds me of Chong- they were extremely quick with the ball and can get to spots on the floor. A lot more athletic than expected. Unlike Chong, Molly does little more: can she shoot? can she drives to the basket for layups? Stopping throwing/telegr the ball away, you are not playing against girls from C.Cod. I have not given-up bec there is much more there than shown. Coaches: This line about players not playing until they show it in practice has reached its limit. Trust builds motivation. There is an old Chinese saying: 'Mr. Wong is dead because Mr Badpay killed him.' DROP ALL THE NONESENSE ABOUT HAVING A CHIP ON YOUR SHOULDERS FOR NEXT YEAR. This is a new era for all. Let us use the summer to enjoy our symptoms and not worry about what the Uconn wbb haters are busy whipping up for the Fall. [B]Theirs have suddenly lost currency(?)
