Aside from our game @ASU, this is the best in-game opportunity she's had since the start of the new year, because some of our "gimme" wins like @Washington and @Cal ended up being too close for comfort, and even @WSU looked like a serious trap game leading up to it. Really curious to see what adjustments she makes, if any.
BTW: for those worried about our lack of off-dribble guards, help is to the rescue in Clardy and Ogden. If we have any problem 1-2 years from now, it's ironically going to be post play.
I appreciate and share the optimism surrounding our incoming guards/wings and the continuing development of our current guards/wings. But next year we will have POY candidate Brink in the post supported by Betts and Iriafen. Two years from now, Betts and Iriafen I think are still going to be our primary options on offense. More balanced offense especially the ability of other players to create off the dribble will only enhance their effectiveness. And hopefully they are joined by a couple of top 2024 posts/PFs.
