Nelson could not guard the PG for any of
Oregon, Louisville, NC State, Duke, or UNC. Instead, Wells was asked to do that. And she couldn't guard them very well either. The problem is that Wells was also incredibly inefficient and ineffective on offense. So there were only 3 decent offensive players on the court, and not 4 as you suggested.
The entire roster construction had holes, both offensively and defensively. I'm glad Duffy wasn't happy with it, and my guess is that Duffy has a plan to fix it, although I'm still very skeptical about who's going to play PG next year.
