1)- Where she initially positions herself; whether it's consistently on the perimeter or does she mix it up.
2)- How many touches she gets in the offensive sets and what she does when she gets the ball.
3)- Movement without the ball and whether her teammates look for her and find her.
4)- Where her shots are coming from: 3-pointers, mid-range, drives to the paint, post-ups.
5)- How many defensive and offensive rebounds she gets. (Tara said she wants more rebounding and Cam was our best rebounder and offensive rebounder)
Yes, we are playing an inferior, undersized opponent and I expect we will see lots of substitutions and limited playing times for our starters (and great opportunities for others), but where Cam sets up and plays on the court should give us a clue on how Tara plans to use her moving forward.
This fan hopes Cam will demonstrate her diverse skill sets and be much more than a 6'4 3-point shooter and dominate in multiple ways. I want Cam to be a nightmare for the opposing team.
I’m hoping to see Cam get the ball away from the basket, take a couple of dribbles and then shoot a short jumper. That is the key shot for WNBA superstars Breanna Stewart and Aja Wilson. They usually don’t get all the way for a layup because post defenders (usually several of them) are keyed in on them but they take and make those shots a lot because they are pretty much unguardable at their height.
