In Reply to: Barry, watch Jones's lateral foot speed. She almost never... posted by Born2BBruin on January 16, 2025 at 22:42:24
Her defense is overlooked. She can be very disruptive poking the ball away and getting deflections.
On the posted up thing, PSU was getting to the basket a lot. It wasn’t just on Jones. From what I could tell, they moved the ball around, set picks, and whomever Betts picked up would go out of the key and Betts was following her. It left a big hole in the middle that psu exploited. Jones got burned one, as did the whole team on several occasions. Until I see teams systematically finding a way to post Londyn up, it’s not a concern. I mean, w Betts out of the key, a pay player cut between Dugs and Gardiner for a lay up.
My bigger concern is adjusting the D so that Betts “stays home” in half court plays.
