we have a rotation of 9, and all looked good. really good. most pleasant surprise is how good MAS is this year (7 pts, 10 rebounds in 16 minutes!) - monster rebounder, and even hit a 3. so we have 4 excellent posts. 3 1/2 excellent guards (shay is the half). for those disappointed in courtney ogden, she looked good today, both on offense and defense. our 3s went in today (7/15), and hailee made her layups! (well, most of them) this is easily a tournament team. to my eyes a sweet 16 team at least.
papadaki, green, and umeh did not take off their warm-ups.
of the remaining 3, carly amborn looks promising - poised, knows the offense and the defense, hit her only 3. nora ezike is big and strong but a bit lost on the court. harper played the most but was a liability - didn't flow w the offense, instead chucked up 3 air balls.
it was fun to see where kate placed the post players: on offense, sometimes nunu was out at the 3, sometimes in the low block. same with lara. again today, the posts did a lot of defending up high, not just down low.
