Lindsay has proven that she is a great creator, facilitator for her team, and her replacement has not proven she can do that yet. But we'll still be concerned about keeping them out of the paint and driving them nuts.

balls cares coach compete gets good hard head knows liked loose outside pass plays question shoot shown size
I've always liked her. She's got her head in the game, plays hard and plays for a good coach. She knows how to compete at the championship level. My only question is why she didn't play outside at that size. But the way she rebounds, who cares what size she is. She gets rebounds, loose balls and she's shown that she can pass and shoot from out there, better than some of us thought.
