She definitely fell off a couple of months ago


Exact same thing happened to Flaujae her first year. Yall should look back, she struggled pretty damn bad the back half of the season.

Williams priority this offseason has to be physical shape/conditioning. Everything else will take care of itself, she is a baller. But as far as yesterday she was fine withstanding the turnovers, which was horrible across the board for everyone.

but Reese and Hailey were terrible


I think Reese was trying to make an impression on some WNBA scouts yesterday. She was doing things, bringing the ball upcourt with wide open guards right beside her and the fact she was taking outside shots she normally doesn't take. It was like, "hey, I can do those things also". Successfully? Nah you can't. The big dance isn't the place to be practicing on your shortcomings.

Van Lith needs to learn she can't drive the lane and pass off like good point guards can. She isn't quick enough.

She’s hit the freshman wall. Longer deal, freshmen aren’t used to it, they wear down at the season.

The whole team was sloppy yesterday. But they were still able to pull out the win. Hopefully they cone out more focused tomorrow.

It’s not about her shooting. It’s about multiple inexplicable turnovers. She had pee wee level traveling turnovers. She just throws the ball to no where and it goes out of bounds. She has to passed that go right through her hands. She kills the momentum of the offense and she gets a pass when she should be getting the majority of the blame that HVL is getting.

Freshman wall...this time last year, she was going on recruiting trips and picking out a prom dress, not going against DI athletes 6 days a week...

The young lady is freshman playing with four upperclass teammates in high school she took over games dominated college don’t work that way .
She will not be the first or second option with Kim she is still learning how to play college team ball instead of high school super star ball .

Seems like she slammed into the freshman wall and then got injured. She needs to get her legs back under her and the confidence will follow.
yeah, I'm inclined to agree with you guys about the freshman wall thing, I'm overlooking that because because of her obvious talent and all. Being a lil too hard on the girl, I'm looking at another super frosh in Juju Watkins of USC and comparing Williams to her which isn't fair. Y'all are right in that she needs to get her legs back and all, losing a lil weight when she starts training in the offseason will help her out too.

Her game is not good right now, just the wroong time to be in a slump.


Slump? I read through most of the idiotic ideas, comments, and suggestions in this thread and they pretty much confirm many people on here are clueless.

She is dealing with a serious painful chronic injury called plantar faciitis. This is where the tissue that connects the heel to the toes gets inflamed. The cure for it is not playing basketball but LSU cannot afford her not playing. Laying out a couple games is not enough to get rid of it. Nonetheless it has affected her practice regimin and game min. She did not just forget how to play all the sudden

I know what plantar faciitis is man (heel pain), played on it and it doesn't cause you to shoot air balls, so, you might wanna refer to yourself as the idiot. There is always someone that has to be a jackass with namecalling on here is if they're above everyone, no, you're not. The girl is just hitting a wall like mentioned on here.
