Love Reynolds. She should be the starting point guard next year.

Love Reynolds. She should be the starting point guard next year.

Hope she works on her outside shooting. Tennessee should have at least 2 (ideally 3) outside shooters on the court at all time.

Carter, Massengale (assuming she's back) and Reynolds or Tucker would be a nice backcourt. Should give Graves and Harrison a lot of freedom in the paint.

I know they've tried Burdick at the 3, but maybe she'd be better off sharing post duties with Graves. Offensively and defensively, they'd be better off with a natural wing (Nared or a big guard like Reynolds/Tucker).

The thing I like about Reynolds is she has great ball handling skills, she's a great passer, she can penetrate into the paint and take the short range jumper and she's hard to defend. Also, she has height and is great on the defensive end. I don't really care if she can shoot the three. Love her.

Watching Reynolds grow in confidence over the course of the season has been a joy to watch.

I've been a Big Orange fan for 55 years. It's cheering for the people, not the uniform, that provides the satisfaction. (Otherwise, the head-poundingly inscrutable refereeing of the ladies' game would have made it unbearable!)

Speaking of which... am I wrong that every move Jordan demonstrated in the video is--by the rulebook--a traveling violation?

During her demonstration, yes, it appears that she is traveling because she is displaying the footwork and not dribbling leading into the move, but in the game footage she is definitely not traveling.
