Heal is particularly important because of her ability to drive and finish at the rim. We mostly have 3-point shooting bigs (Demetre, Agara, Peterson) and the best way to leverage that skill is to play 4 or 5 out like Utah did. If your bigs are three point shooting threats then they will draw their defender out of the paint leaving open driving lanes for guards who can drive and score. Lepolo can certainly drive but she was so hesitant to shoot that she would just circle and pull the ball back out. Hopefully Heal will have a lot of room in the paint to operate with our bigs providing spacing.
