Defense
Defense was the biggest difference in this game and not for the lack of what Westlake was doing but the difference was that LP was locked in.
When you can stay in the paint and patrol when you’re in a zone and if you can get out and play defense out in the perimeter as a big you really change the game. Not only was she defending all over the floor she racked up so many blocks and really took away almost all layup attempts.
I have been able to watch Tanuvasa chase some of the best players in teh country and she continues to step it up and her defensive play is a game changer as well because she can turn it into instant offense. She is going to be a great next level signing.
Effort
Sikander only had a few points but her effort saving loose balls and hauling in rebounds was very noticeable. Only a freshman but her play is ahead of her time. She has a bright futre ahead.
Really good size, speed and strength that she is able to use to defend and when her team is switching everything it really helps when she is in because there is no mismatches. She rebounds and defends and it adds another player that can come in and give positive minutes.
Crafty
Feler kept finding ways to get the ball in scoring positions. Really liked how she was finding holes in that tight defense and she was catching that ball loaded. She might have scored most of her points taking less than 5 dribbles. She showed grit as well as that craftiness to get open and score.
Movement is very important, especially when you are off the ball. Nordstrom is so dangerous and when she sees her defender lose track she cuts and she is so quick that it is always to late and the rotation never gets there in time. The thing that makes her crafty is she can take contact and spin the ball off the glass and get it to fall. She will get that ball on the move and she will hit you with the middy. Elite at taking what the defense gives you.
On the Rise
Her game is evolving. She is getting quicker off the bounce and on a rip and go. If she continues to attack and convert off the bounce and move, her shooting from deep will only get better because she will have better looks.
This girl can shoot and she has range. her understanding of the game is getting better and she is another option when it comes to scoring. She could be a sneaky get for a next level program.
