re: Will Reese and HVL Stay?

HVL WILL NOT make a WNBA roster. She's too short to be a SG and too slow with poor dribbling to be a PG. She lacks court vision and can't handle the ball when pressured. HVL will be playing overseas when she leaves LSU.

Agree with everything you said except the court vision part. I think she makes some pretty good passes just flicking the ball off the dribble.

HVL couldn't handle being pressured and was a liability on defense

As I said in another post, her "liability on defense" depended on the opponent. For sure, if you had a quick PG like the MTSU one, she had big issues stopping the drive. But not every point guard is that skilled so it depends on the team. If the PG was more of a passer, I remember her intercepting quite a few passes. Also, if a normally skilled PG shoots more than most PG, she was fine there too. But yeah, you have a quick PG who loves the drive and she needs help defense then. If I was the coach at LSU, I would take her back in a second for one last year.
