Fever really have it rolling right now. I am loving Timpson starting- I think it has really given them an edge. I am trying to think of a men’s analog - maybe Rodman?
Timpson did a solid job defensively tonight. Still hesitates a little bit after receiving a pass from Caitlin and it costs her opportunities to finish.
She doesn't quite have that tenacity and edge that Rodman played with, and thankfully, lacks the theatrics and drama as well.
But I think Timpson's arrow is only going up and she's starting to get more comfortable at this level of play. As long as she can occasionally finish a pass from CC and force tough shots in the paint on the other end, then she is probably the best option on this team rounding out the starting 5 for the remainder of this season.
Lexie will be a little more comfortable with the 3, and Sophie and Mo are just better off the bench. They can eat up minutes on a given night depending on who's on and who's not.
Ty is a spot bench player that is too irratic and Raven just isn't consistent enough yet, which isn't fair to hold against her too much because this league has a horrible history of killing rookies' growth before they ever got a chance.
She does need to get on the floor a little more, but with the way their offense is clicking right now (and she's just not really a part of that....yet) there's just not a lot of room for her right now.
