LSU WBB Exhibition Games

After watching the first game, I felt very concerned. The second one brought me hope, there were glimpses of fantastic all around play and they did it consistently. Caldwell now has her style of play! We are very quick this year, we will cause more turnovers. Our main concern needs to be cutting down turnovers offensively. I have to say the staff has done a tremendous job developing some these players.
Positives: Much faster, more explosive
Negative: Post Play, and Turnovers

Thoughts on new players:
Deemer: Pure shooter, she will put up serious points this season, definitely by far the most impressive player, only a freshman.

Bethel: She shows signs of being a very solid player, has great anticipation and speed. Needs to work on finishing and free throws.

Jones: Solid player, need to see more offensive consistency. Good rebounder.

Amichia- She really impressed me today, very good rebounder, she is physically ready for this level. I really feel good about her. She is pretty smart all well, will be a good one.

Faero: Tall, good rebound, but this level is completely different for her. Will take her a bit to catch on. Slow to react and to see things, inconsistent offensively.

Caldwell did a great job today fixing this defense up, and they will only get better with experience. We did it too without our best player Ballard. We will be very good when we hit SEC play.

The best lineup without Ballard would be:
Moncrief (G)
Deemer (G)
Hill (G)
Jones (F)
Amichia (F)

I think Caldwell likes Hill too much to take her out the lineup. Deemer may be coming off the bench, but to me I think she has deserved a starting spot. I do not think Bethel should be starting, Anne Pedersen looked impressive today as well. Rhodes and Harden are very good players coming off the bench.
