Obviously we hoped she’d catch on to being a point guard much quicker than this.

Everyone says that but that’s not the case. She is playing out of position and is slow that’s why she always looks tired. The PG experiment needs to end. She needs to play off guard and have Williams set the offense. No matter what they do this team is flawed because they do not have a true point.

She’s actually a pretty amazing player. Just hasn’t been able to play the game suited to her yet.

She'll always be a 10 in my eyes.

I am baffled by saying not playing her game….it’s basketball

She has the ball she could drive, shoot or whatever

Wherever she plays she is average….slow and mediocre

You think if she was exclusively at the 2 she would be better….hell, she is the worst of the starting 5

I get all of that, but the girl wouldn’t be where she’s at if she wasn’t lighting it up at Louisville. She was the top player in the portal for a reason.
She’s an off-ball guard.
She’s making mistakes because what she’s doing here hasn’t been her normal rhythm and flow when she plays basketball. She gets tired faster. Her arms and legs probably get tired faster. She hasn’t been able to get over the learning curve yet.

Maybe because she never played defense?

I think it has more to do with the offensive sets Mulkey tries to run than defense.
The team’s defensive sets need some work. Also need to do a whole lot of drills passing the ball into the post and out of the post while defenders try to take the ball. They were sloppy with those today. Also learning what to do if the ballhandler runs you off on a screen.
Team just needs to work.

They didn’t need her. Mulkey created this. Williams could have handed her volume and the team would be better off

They didn’t need her at point.

This team has no depth. I can’t imagine where they’d be if you removed a good player. They needed her…just playing SG

I'm fine adding HVL, she was a prolific scorer at Louisville and carried them to an elite 8 last year.

The issue is we have her playing a position she isn't capable of playing which has neutralized her entire skillset. Then LSU sits on 3 scholarships this offseason instead of adding another ball handler, or someone who can help the bench out.


Its time to close the HVL PG chapter, let MK handle the ball and Poa, keep HVL strictly at the off guard and let her do what she did at Louisville.

This!

She didn’t forget how to play basketball all of a sudden. She’s playing an unfamiliar position and is trying to fit her game into something that isn’t who she is. No doubt CKM will get it fixed.

Right. She definitely isn't out of shape
She played in that 3v3 Olympic tournament before the yr.
