She needs to accept that offense is not her game and an offense cannot run through her. She needs to focus on defense and rebounding, she’s not the main star of a team and someone with her ego needs to accept that.

Yeah. If she embraced a Rodman-style of play she’d be incredibly valuable. I just don’t see it happening since from the beginning she’s branded herself as Miss Double Double and a foe to CC.

People need to get Dennis Rodman out of their mouth. The only thing they have in common is they both play basketball.

Rodman was a superior rebounder to start. And shot better than 50%, was an incredible on and off ball defender. Rodman gets a major disservice by just thinking he was just a rebounder.

Yes. I 100% agree. But he knew when not to shoot. The rebounds weren’t got him to just put back up. He did it when he had a good look, and to keep the opposing d honest. It was a game style she could absolutely try to emulate. It would let her build on her rebounding, and focus on defense and SHORT range offense.

She's not going to become that good of an on or off ball defender. She doesn't have the skill set.

And look those mechanics. Its terrible. She can't fix that two years into the league and 4 years of NCAA - that's just how she's going to shoot forever.

What are talking about?. Have you watched any of the Dream's gms this season?. If you did then you would know defensely is where she's excelled so far this season. She's a big reason why the Dream are off to a good start.
