That makes a lot of sense to me. Even our top returning players - McPhee, Smith, and Carrington - are athletic, higher tempo, slash to the basket type players. From what I saw of the McDonald's game with Williams and Dodson, they are both pretty fast and athletic as well. This will be a very, very different team from the brainier, more technically sound teams we've had in the past (I'm thinking of players like Bonnie Samuelson, Amber Orrange, Jeanette Pohlen, etc.). I'm guessing sloppier games (i.e. more turnovers) and fewer assists, but also more O boards and hot streaks, which more or less maps onto what the box scores from the Italy games reflected. I would not be at all surprised if we win some games we probably should lose (i.e. Baylor, Uconn, Tennessee) and also lose some games we probably should win against the lower half of the Pac-12. It'll be a fun and interesting season to watch given the amount of talent at disposal.
