Long article on Hailey Van Lith

Her defense has been up and down with one recent game (Middle Tenn St?) she was driven on to the basket a lot in the first half before she started overplaying the driver to the outside and forcing her back into the lane where she had help. But she was outstanding in the UCLA game defensively...and had 5 assists and only 1 turnover and 3 steals. Her passing has improved but she really needs to shoot a better %. She is getting a lot of open shots and right now they just aren't falling...1 for 8 in the UCLA game. IMO, she is rushing her shot. However, she is close to money at the FT line shooting 83%

I agree with everything you said.
I really liked that she only turned it over once. Her defense was outstanding and she nailed her free throws. And her passing seems to have improved as well. I would like to see her shoot better as well.

Good observation.
Her defense has been phenomenal. We don’t win vs ucla without that and her great free throw shooting.
Since pistol Pete comparisons are all the rage, she has stepped up her passing game but she’s falling way short in her shooting. Would like to see that get better.

but tRant said she needs to be benched, and that she sucks

She is a catch and shoos vs dribble and shoot guard. She has to have feet set to be successful

This is the reality. The wnba is not her future. I hope she considers coming back one more year though. She is a very good college player regardless what some say about her.

Yeah, I said rushing her shot and forgot to put in the feet set deal as evidence of that. And before any poster here would say something like "wow, I bet Kim Mulkey hasn't thought of telling her that" (not that anyone would be that sarcastic here) , my guess is the coaching staff has mentioned that to her already. But telling a player something and having that executed in a game in fast action are two different things.
All-time best example in a basketball game which LSU eventually lost. Dale Brown calls a timeout in a TV covered huddle to set up a final shot to win/tie the game. "Jose {Vargas} do not take a shot!!" And of course what happened...for 0 reason, Jose Vargas that great shooter took the final shot and LSU lost.

It says a lot about her that she's gone from featured to support player and has a great attitude about it. She wants to be a more complete player and she wants to win. I also think her reaction during the LSU/SC fracas is a good indicator she's someone you want on your team. She was ready to throw down.

HVL has been so key in the clutch. She’s been there making the big defensive plays at the end and icing games with her free throws which have been money.

Do we want her or flaujae on Clark? Maybe both but not at the same time. I think flaujae is an elite defender and one of the best players in the country who gets little credit nationally

The rant also said kling was great and needed to stay at the top of the lineup. It goes both ways
