She finished with 2 turnovers…
I can’t tell you how many times posters misattributed a turnover by someone else as “OMG ANOTHER HVL TURNOVER!!!” when it was actually a different player.
Flau’jae and Mikayla finished with 3 each, yet those turnovers get mentioned far less.

As you hinted, the whining about Van Lith's turnovers and not being the fastest guard has been overblown. Her passing BTW in general has been pretty good IMO. I realize offensively not being the fastest guard keeps her from getting a bunch of driving layups.

What does bother me is her bad shooting percentage from the field in many games...1 for 8 in previous game...2 for 10 in this game. Whether it is rushing her shot or not getting set before shooting, that needs to be fixed. Apparently, she is just a catch and shoot player and can't even dribble before the shot. Because at the FT line she is 83% which is superb. And BTW, most of the FT are "string music" as Joe Dean used to say..don't even touch the rim. So she has a nice shot but has to be in the right environment.

I agree

All her passess are from the top of the key or the wing.

Therein lies the problem, she CANNOT CREATE easy buckets for her teammates. Now I get it, she is not a true PG. But in her capacity, against IOWA, she still couldn't Create off the dribble.
