How a healthy Marta Suárez can help unlock LVs' Final Four hopes

[kamoshika]

Sophomore guard Kaiya Wynn said she can always hear Suárez’s voice on the court. She’s a consistent, uplifting presence for the team, which Harper noted as well. “That's been a really good thing for her teammates," Harper said, "to be able to hear from her and have that constant voice.”

Suárez brings a different edge to the team, McCorvey said. She saw firsthand how Suárez’s confidence blossomed, due in part to her dedication to working on her own. She gets extra shooting practice at least every other day, and it will pay off for her this season. “(She) adds more depth, both offensively and defensively,” McCorvey said. “Her ability to score, her ability to push in transition, come off ball screens, post up and also defend and rebound. It's huge for our team and again, it just speaks to the depth that we have.”

...“She's very crafty with her passes or finishes, ball fakes,” Lady Vols guard Jordan Horston said. “But the main thing I really notice about Marta is how efficient she is. She is very efficient, she can get a rebound, she can hit a three – open three, contested. She's just good around the basket, good with her finishes.”

I can’t wait to see her on the court again.

I've officially crossed into its all too good to be true territory. It's been so long since Marta played that I haven't even considered her when I make my sunny assessment of the possibilities this season. If Marta really is yet ANOTHER true weapon then dang, it's almost an embarrassment of riches! Let it Be!

Finding enough minutes for those who deserve them is gonna be a happy problem for CKH.

More of an asset on the offensive end than the defensive end--good to have her back.

She probably works her way into more minutes per game than most on the bench IMHO because of her experience and skill set. I am thinking she ends up a critical piece this year in spite of the abundance of all stars on this years LV team.

Excited to see her Marta back in action. From what I remember of her freshman year, she had a pretty savvy presence on the court - great communicator, deceptively quick, and, as Horston mentioned, very crafty.

Marta will be a secret weapon that teams fail to prepare for. I think she ends up being our 6th man first off the bench by the SEC/NCAA tourney if she's not already there. I expected her to start until we got Rickea so Marta will be chomping at the bit to showcase her skills as she did as a freshmen wowing the entire NCAA .

 

[Rooster1]

Marta prob is gonna be in contention for 6th woman of the year award, she is primed and ready to impact.

 

[GameTime]

She is also in fighting shape now....Also, is very easy on the eyes.

I don't know if she will crack the starting lineup like she did as a freshman but she will certainly play a factor in how effective the subs will be when the starters get a break. I think she could be good enough to start for most programs once she gets the rust off from her injury.

I’m thinking that rust is long gone. She’s ready!

Listening to Brian Rice on radio he really was impressed with Marta today. Team has alot of depth Marta brings an all around game to court. Hope everyone had a wonderful LORD'S Day. In CHRIST Alone
