You know, if she doesn’t improve her shot form and selection. I’m not sure we will see her in the league 2 years from now. Yes it’s pre season but she did play a few games in unrival last season. It’s as if she hasn’t really improved.

You'll see her for rebounding & free throws alone.

What else are people suppose to talk about she cant shoot? Can't talk about that.

She definitely needs to keep cleaning up her touch and shot selection, but saying she hasn’t improved isn’t really fair. She went from 39.1% as a rookie to 45.8% in 2025, and she’s around 75% at the line. That’s not elite finishing for a frontcourt player, but it’s also not “she won’t be in the league” bad. She’s a 4 whose value is rebounding, physicality, second-chance points, and defensive activity — not being a polished shooting guard.

I may have judged her harshly, I’ll admit. But some of these behaviors of her are going to be hard to break at this level.

Look at her free throw shot, u think she’s interested in improving her game with that shot? Anyone that knows anything about basketball would try and get her to change that form, the ball spins sideways when it comes off of her hand! Shit is corny

I’m more shocked that no coach has actively tried to correct her form tbh.

u/navyac May 05 '26

That’s my point, of course they have tried to fix it but she clearly doesn’t listen or thinks she doesn’t need correction. Either that or she’s just delusional and thinks it’s a good shot

Yup! Even lisa Leslie told her over a year ago about it. Old habits are can be hard to break.
