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.

The HVL PG "experiment" was horrible. Many said early on it wouldn't work and if it continued LSU would suffer.
HVL is tenacious and gives maximum effort on defense, however she's just too slow in her lateral movement. She has had a few games where she's gotten into the passing lanes for steals but so has Morrow, Reese, and Johnson. That's more of a by-product of the way LSU "as a team" plays defense and less to do with HVL's individual ability on D. HVL was too slow on D and couldn't dribble around her defenders on offense. She had plenty of TO's trying to make a pass from far beyond the arc because she couldn't handle the up-front pressure and was unable to take her defender off the dribble. It's fair to be of the opinion you take her back if she wants to return. However, you're basing that off her production BEFORE she came to LSU. Her production this season was disappointing. She had no idea when to facilitate vs when to score. She was "lost" all season, albeit learning to play PG.
