re: HVL’s trainer essentially says HVL was lied to by LSU

quote:

-He says he won’t say anything about the coaching staff, BUTonce the season started you could tell right away there was very little that lined up with the promises that were made or insinuated how she would be used.

-He says they focused on PG skills “getting penetration in the paint, probe defense, control pace, outside pressure, use her change of speeds to get to passing areas on the floor, get to the paint, and not only looking for her shot but to facilitate.”

He says the shots she could get at LSU were very very different from the shots she could get at Louisville. “And the Louisville HVL is the one that is best utilized as option 1A or 1B.” Says she is very lethal in her turnarounds, midrange and an amazing 3 pt shot and they focused on extending that range and more off-the-bounce 3s.

As I've said before, whenever someone starts a sentence and then the second phrase contains a "but" , you know the first part of the sentence is a lie.

I thought she did facilitate pretty well actually but penetration in the paint...I missed that part. She wasn't fast enough to get around the defender to do that.

Her 3 point % was better at LSU than at Louisville. The problem was she couldn't hit the mid range shot and got very, very few layups due to her lack of quickness. And as I've said before, I've seen her try to shoot off the dribble and she is pretty bad at it. She is a catch and shoot or have a screen and shoot player. Don't watch the WNBA but my guess is that is going to be a huge problem along with her lack of quickness.
