Girl's 2017 versus 2018

[RutherfordBHayes]

Last year's starting 5: Mo, Dom, Tori, Bre, and Chinwe.
Mo, Dom, and Bre weren't outside shooters. Of the 3, Mo could/can score getting to the basket and make shorter stuff. Dom was in for D. Bre rarely shot. We relied on points in the paint, and Tori for offense. Our D made us good.

This year's starting 5: Mo, Blair, Ro, Tori, and T.
Any of the 5 can drop 25 on you. That's the difference. The D is still there, but offensively, this team is a machine.

I only worry about getting T in foul trouble. Having Chinwe and T was such a luxury. When T is on the bench, it changes the game on both sides. I think that's the weakness.

Good analysis, Mr. President. I will say, having Chloe backing up Tori at the 4 has been good. I think she's a player that could really be an X-factor in the postseason. Zion is an okay backup at the 5, but she looks lost at times. Obviously T backing up Chinwe was a WHOLE lot better situation than Zion backing up T. Doesn't do any good, but thinking about Ameshya Williams and her skills as the backup 5 made me feel alot better.

Yep. Gotta give it to T, though. She has improved so much on D. She rarely swats down into the shooter. She keeps her blocks up high. Has mostly stayed out of foul trouble since early season.
