Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 5685002, member: 127"] We’re actually missing a pure point guard. Dominique isn’t really a point guard, at the beginning of the season Coach Jack tried Sophie to bring up the ball but she too isn’t a point guard. Olivia and Angela aren’t real playmakers but the only players who have a decent positive assist to turnover ratio. The team sadly has more turnovers than assists for the year. Three point shooting is another weakness. Only Laila Phelia and Madeline Potts have over a .333 % from 3 on the team. We’ve really missed Sophie’s 3 point shooting this year and as we’ve discussed Maddy doesn’t get much playing time for some reason. Losing Laila will make acquiring 3 point shooters even more crucial next year. Dominique is a much better 2 point shooter (.441) than a 3 point shooter .296. She gets fouled the most on the team though from her drives to the basket and is an excellent free throw shooter (84%). She needs to reduce her reliance on 3 point shots or improve her 3 point shooting to increase her efficiency, if we’re fortunate to get her back next year. #1 priority is keeping Uche and watching her develop and that we improve our passing to her. I disagree with your absolute negativity regarding their wins being the dregs - Miami, Virginia and Clemson. If you look at preseason rankings SU also beat Stanford and Florida St who were ranked higher than them. They lost to UNC in overtime away at UNC and their wins against Miami and Virginia were both away also increasing their net. It doesn’t mean that I’m not disappointed with the NC State and Notre Dame losses. 21 wins isn’t anything to mock or take for granted. LGO! [/QUOTE]
