Yes Cal has some bigger/slower posts in West and Yue but we have played teams with such posts before and I don't remember Williams drives/finishes being so surgical. It seemed like she was probing, probing, crossing, hesitating and then Bam swooping in for a layup. If she can play like that consistently, then I think we have a good shot at a Final Four.Yes, absolutely. If she plays like this every game then the sky is the limit. A frightening thing to contemplate is how well we would have done today if Williams had still been in the slump she recently went through.
We really need DiJonai back sooner than later. In critical situations, I trust the ball in Kiana's hands the most right now, she can drive, she can shoot and she can pass. More importantly, she knows when to do what. Having Carrington back will give us another option to handle the ball with the shot clock waning and in a situation where we cannot give the ball up. Haley has the same assorted set of possibilities, but she is more prone to turnovers at the moment. If she can learn to cut down on that (keep a more secure handle of the ball while dribbling and not force the ball into traffic), then that would be another option. Lexie can shoot the ball but I don't think she is too much of a threat driving to the basket with the ball using sheer force/agility.
