Especially if she gets more than 19 mins a game. Her 3 pt % two years ago

two years ago (39%) was on par with Ekh's this year in fewer shots. If she can raise the percentage back toward that..... Not having studied her, what she likely doesn't bring is that driving/slashing element that Lani White brought, especially when benefitting from the screens that freed up to drive into the top of the key area...or that get out ahead in transition. While we are still likely in the hunt for both size and potentially athletic wings who can drive, she is going to fill that Ekh role basically and compete with the current guards for time at the 2 and 3 Edit: Watching highlights, she showed she will get steals on the perimeter for length of court drives as well as an ability to drive the baseline. What I also liked is her tendency to relocate to a new spot to provide a post or teammate with an open passing option. Moving without the ball to lose a help defender or take a help defender away is nice. ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 4/3/2025, 12:37:35 PM ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 4/3/2025, 1:45:08 PM ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 4/3/2025, 1:45:26 PM

While you are entitled to your opinion, it is premature and uninformed.
