Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3972403, member: 6620"] I saw Spear play a few times and she was very steady, averaging just under 11 ppg and shooting pretty much 40% across the board from the field and more than 80% from the line. She was lucky to have a savvy veteran guard in Gina Conti to control the ebb and flow of the game, Still, she was a contributor in most the games I saw, particularly when teams focued on Conti and/or Ivana Raca. Her role at Wake last year and, I suspect, on this team is long distance shooting. She took 145 of them last season for the Demon Deacons and my guess is she'll find some space behind the line while other teams fret about Clark and follow Johnson into the lane. Skip pass to the line and Spear! Think Maddy Westbeld can get to show her stuff in July and -- knock on wood -- then can add a variety of skills and assets to this team, from rebounding and inside play to good court sense and passing.
