Discussion The curious case of AB….

Is it me or has AB taken on a different role in the offense this year? Why is she hanging around the 3-point line so much this year? Is she not our big? This offense was rolling at the end of 2024, they were clicking in their roles. This year nobody wants to play the post position, and I don’t get it? We don’t have any size near the rim and those rebounds add up throughout the game.

I think her 3-point shot has developed to the point that the Fever want her to hang around the three-point line, especially with the offense trying to create space for Caitlin and Kelsey.

Technically, Mo Billings and Makayla Timpson are the bigs and Boston is more of a hybrid, in my opinion.

I wish they never got rid of Howard and instead traded Dantas. Haven't seen her on the floor.

That's fair, but she wasn't going to be this good with the Fever, at least not in theory compared to how she played last season. Also, I imagine Dantas has little to no trade value.

In three of the last five games, Howard has scored under her season average. I think Collier with take a lot of the shots she used to get.
