It will be interesting to see what Tara does with Brink when she picks up her 1st foul. In the past, it seemed that this meant an automatic seat on the bench. Even as last year's team leading scorer, Brink still only played 22 minutes a game. Does Brink get more leeway as an experienced player who can dominate the game on both ends? Or does she still get the quick hook?

The posts (excluding Jones) need to be working on their FT shooting. Brink last year - 61%. Belibi - 61%. Iriafen - 56%, Prechtel - 43%. Marginal improvement here can yield big results.

I agree with you that marginal FT improvement would indeed have a significant impact in games; especially against top opponents.  What the challenge is replicating a smooth release of the ball that goes into the net, not just in practice, but in games.  For whatever reasons, that replication of the desired release is not consistent.  Could there be distractions?  Most amazed that Brink (who appears to have very good form) only managed 61%.

Sure hope I'm wrong on this, but I think Tara will continue to pull Brink (even if she is dominating) the moment she gets that first foul.
