Alyssa strikes me as the ultimate tweener who does not quite have the skill set to be an effective stretch four. She's not quite big and strong enough to be a rim protector or top notch low post defender and rebounder. She's also not quite quick enough and skilled enough to live on the perimeter. She's an excellent shooter and passer for her size, but in absolute terms, she's fairly average. She's a great glue player or complimentary player and if her shot is going down from three, she can cause matchup problems. Think of Kayla Pederson lite. There is definitely a role for her on this team, but I'd rather give our other bigs some of Alyssa's PT in order to accelerate their development. When Maya comes back, it will be interesting to see how PT gets re-allocated.
