Roster construction.
3 starting caliber players, 1 quality bench player, and a junk drawer of other stuff. Plus a coach that has no idea how to use the players she was handed.
Clark isn’t being given an offense to run that she is efficient at, plus isn’t being given help on Defense. She also continues to push things that lead to unforced turnovers.
Boston is being pulled way too far away from the paint on offense, and has no backup. When she’s in foul trouble it is basically over.
Mitchell is a black hole on offense, sucks on defense, and is a bad pairing at SG next to CC. Her defenders will say she scores points though.
Lexi is a hustle player more than a defensive stopper. And she isn’t contributing enough for a starter with the contract they signed her to. Her 5.5 points per game is atrocious for a starter on an offensive team like this one.
Billings is probably the worst offseason signing in the league this year. Unplayable at the end of a game. Her 5.5 points per game is atrocious for a starter.
Sophie is earning her keep lately, wasn’t great to start the season but has been coming on and is effectively playing starter minutes.
Dantas is basically a joke out there.
MHA is a replacement-level player I guess. 4pts and 3rbs in 16 minutes per game isn’t great.
Harris is ok as a backup PG I guess.
Timpson is all effort and athleticism with little skill. Just about non-existent on offense.
Johnson was in over her head tonight but as a rookie has shown some flashes.
