Wrong team for KLS?

[DEpup]

They are built like a UConn team but sure aren't coached by one.....

Nice game for KLS. Her defense looked good and Cambage didn’t scare her. She earned more minutes.

I thought her defensive aggressiveness was great, especially compared to how most of the Sky players play defense. As is true at any level, defense is what separates the good teams from the championship teams. She showed no signs of being shy about contact.

Thanks... I didn't see the game, but checked the Box Score and was pleased to see Lou played 14 minutes...which is of course a lot more than normal...if she even gets in. Thanks for the assessment of how she played...wish I could have seen it. Maybe the coach is starting to gain some confidence in her?

I haven't watched a lot of Sparks but I've got the impression from what I've read/heard that Mabrey is playing at least some point guard. Could be wrong.

Correct. Mabrey does fill in at point guard. She has alot of versatility in the roles she can play and that adds to her value.

Yeah I think the coaching in Chicago leaves a lot to be desired. Someone needs to figure out the nuances in the foul calling and then give the bigs some insight. KLS could have had 20 pts yesterday if they just passed the ball to her. Vegas was leaving her open so why not burn them or at least make them defend 5 players.

In the few minutes she’s played she has been open and ignored many times. In last night’s game Vegas crowded the basket and yet—Deshields, I think—dove right in and lost the ball while KLS was so open even I could have hit the three...well, maybe not me.

I didnt' see the game at all, but she did take 5 shots in 14min, plus got to the free throw line 4 times. This doesn't seem like she was being "ignored," though it's not to say they didn't miss times to find her.

She looked really tough and physical on defense, even smothering Cambage at one point. She had two air balls but that comes when you aren’t getting minutes. She made good decisions passing and one super defensive play after draining a three. Two of her free throws came for being fouled on defense under the Vegas basket. She may be realizing she’s 6’3”. At UConn she made quick accurate passes on an unselfish team where everyone was looking for who had best shot. I don’t see that on this team, except for Sloot and the other UConners.

Are you her agent?

I think he's starting to gain some confidence in her. Also, the overcorrection to the Griner bust-up has begun and Chicago's bigs were getting called for touch fouls against Wilson and Cambage all night.

With both Parker and Dolson in foul trouble, Ndour had to play some 5, which opened up minutes at the 4 for Gabby and Lou.

There might have been once when DeShields missed her. I know Copper missed her several times to make ill-advised drives. We were grumbling about it in section 124.

Even if the shot isn't open by the time Lou catches, I still like throwing her the ball because she is generally a good decision-maker with the ball.

Yes, decision making is her forte. I thought she passed up one open shot but it was close. It might have been Copper that time. My attention was on KLS, whom she passed on ill fated run at basket, who had 10 feet of space.

Does him/her have to be her agent to make that point?
