Watching this team fall apart here in the 4th is painful. This is where we need seasoned players.
I'd like to see Mercedes take the box. Make it hers, completely, rather than "just happening to be there." She has improved since her earlier years, but does not seem to want to dominate the box. And don't throw her the ball hard, or expect her to dribble, even once; there is at least a 50% chance the ball will be taken away. Her hands don't seem to grip well.
I question her conditioning, or maybe it is an actual coaching decision that she does not run the whole floor a lot? Many times it looks like the LVs have only 4 on the floor.
I love this team; the enthusiasm of the new, young players is great! They just have rough edges that need sanding, right away. Like quite a few other highly-ranked incoming players from the recent past, they need to understand that they are not the heroes--yet. You earn that by your play.
