Summer stuff
Saw them play monday. Especially interested in the newbies Emilee and Tayler. Wow was I impressed. I am sure many on this board have seen Emilee play in HS but I have not. I did see one all star game where she handled well and dished 4 or 5 assists with some really fine passing but I hadn't seen her shoot much or show her athleticism. This girl can jump! She can also get her shot off her dribble, something I have not seen many six-two's do. She only tried one longish shot and yes, I know I only have limited data here...but it was still a thrill to see her pick up her dribble, rise into clear air and hit a 14 footer. Well I estimate about that length because they are playing on a floor that is marked for tennis! As a spectator you have no idea where the foul line or the three point arc are. The players and the refs. seem to know though, so I guess it all works. As for Tayler her first shot was a long airball and later she bricked a medium length jumper in traffic but the rest of her threes were perfection. Four or five big arching shots that never touched iron. She can handle well enough and seems to like attacking the basket and getting fouled, this always helps. Both need work on defense.
