My bias;
Jones reflects the challenge Tara faces in building a team:
she looks for wonderful teammates--great--
and resists killers--generally good, now and then not.
Haley is a sweetheart; Lexie and Lacie are prom dates;
Prechtel, Hannah.
Kiana seems to have some killer but she and Anna combined
could not team up and produce a shout.
Cam is a killer but a freshman.
(Paige Bueckers is a killer but too cocky to let being a freshman get in her way,
and she knows Geno is turning her loose and handing her the reins.)
(Again, just my opinion).
Demetre seems to have some fire but not here yet.

Killers also deals well with pressure--
thrive on it.
Yesterday, only one woman seemed to cope--
Cameron vividly.
Not proving my thesis,
but supporting it.

Best to you all---hulk



My model is Diana Taurasi,
another view at which several of you just recoiled.



Taurasi teams didn't let you off the mat.

I know we are in the minority here, but I agree that our teams, for some reason, lack the killer instinct to finish off their opponents. Maybe it's because I'm a very competitive person. Maybe it's because our last championship happened before Amazon was a company. Maybe it's because I've seen it happen many times over the last decade, so I know we can't just solely place it on COVID and the very unique circumstances of this season.
