re: Van Lith was just a terrible fit for this team

there is very little reall basketball talent on the team, and when the one that has all the real talent shoots like she doesn't know how, then this team is very ordinary.

Dumbest take I've seen.

Reese can't shoot but she's a very aggressive rebounder and usually solid at finishing at the rim. She also gets to the free throw line more than anybody in LSU history and makes them at a decent %.

Morrow is a great stretch forward that is also an aggressive rebounder but can make baskets from anywhere when she can get an open look.

Flau'jae has a great all around game, and plenty of "basketball talent".

Williams has phenomenal body control and a smooth shot. She can create her own shot and is probably the best passer on the team.

Van Lithe is the worst player in the starting 5. Maybe she's injured (foot), maybe playing PG is messing her up. Either way she's not performing up to what LSU needs and on this LSU team, she's the weak link in the starting 5.

If Smith were healthy, HVL be first off the bench with Williams and Flau'jae running point. Starting 5 would be Williams, Flau'jae, Morrow, Smith, Reese.
