Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3128207, member: 2117"] It's Arike** and I don't think she gets much PT unless she defends better than she did at ND, so we'll likely see better effort out of her. Granted, lots of players are incredibly lazy defenders in the W so we'll see if that actually happens or not. Plus Dallas looks awful this year without Diggins/Cambage so Dallas may need her out there even if she plays poor defense. Sims had an injury or 2 that really slowed her down IIRC. Hasn't had the same zip and quickness that she used to earlier in her career. Her shooting touch has completely disappeared. A lot of that might be due to her playing off the ball, but she shouldn't be running the offense when LA has Parker and Gray. Parker is the Sparks best passer (and one of the best in the league) so her operating out of the high post wasn't a bad move IMO. She's extremely effective too when she drives to the basket or posts up down low, but is prone to playing passively and settling for perimeter shots rather than battling down low. A combination of playing at the high post and on the block would be the best choice IMO. Not sure if her playing on the perimeter is more of Candace's decision or Agler's. Interested in see how the team does under Fisher. [/QUOTE]
