I agree that ideally we'd have a PG who can create on her own, but Haley Jones often plays as a point forward and she can (and does) create on her own (see, e.g., the final four games), so I actually think we're better off right now than in some teams of yore where the lack of a off-the-dribble PG was our weakness (i.e., the the post-Wiggins, pre-Orrange years and the Sniezek years). Not ideal, for sure, but I'm less worried about that than about (a) press defenses (which Ki was not amazing at handling, but was perfectly solid at) and, relatedly (b) turnovers, because whereas Jones can create on her own, she can also toss it away *a lot* when running the offense. At times sloppy half-court play all but killed us.
