Another great W content, Josh. Love your articles too! I feel like Sandy improved a lot with her offensive schemes this year. I can't fully remember what they ran last year, but I remember a lot of Pistol, a lot of movement. Definitely Sabrina heavy, a little JoJo Buckets if she gets time. Then postups for Stewie and Betnijah. Those exit screens are new to me (pls correct me if this was already here laast year). So cool! Coach Brondello is in her game. Love to see it.
thanks for the kind words :) It definitely feels like the exit screens are an evolution of last year's offense for NYL. It's a great counter for teams that like to bring the low defender in to prevent the JJ/Sab PNR.
I really appreciate your WNBA videos. That's why I subscribed. No other analysis channel is talking about things like this, instead more focused on free agency for the NBA. Really wish I could watch WNBA games, but being international there's no easy way, so I love that I get analysis and to see these amazing women in action through your channel.
Greeaat video! 🥳 I’ve got a few I would love to see a player analysis on! Jackie Young, Jewel Lloyd, Kayla McBride…as far as other rookies go definitely gotta do Rickea Jackson, Nika Muhl and Allison Pili!
I feel like this is the kind of flexible ball movement the Fever need to work on to be successful. Right now the Fever have two options. 1) CC handles the ball and uses her gravity or a simple pick and roll to create an advantage for Boston, Smith, or Mitchell that she feeds to. 2) Someone makes an inefficient iso play. They’re getting better as the season goes on but they're still somewhat limited. Once that initial motion doesn't pan out, they're often left struggling to figure out what to do next which is leading to turnovers, including shot clock violations. Meanwhile the Liberty offense always has another screen action or cutting motion to run through until the right shot clicks into place.
For sure saw that tonight when the Mercury adjusted their defense later in the game. The Fever's offense totally stalled and it didn't seem like they had anything else to run.
@@mojojojoplus2 Yep! I saw the same thing. Once the Mercury went to a zone defense it stopped the Fever offense dead in their tracks. Suddenly everyone, including CC was trying to force through passes that weren't working and it just led to turnover after turnover.
Look at the difference in how much Arch she has on her ball in this game compared to how much Arch she has on her ball in the WNBA much more Arch then in this game then she does now in the WNBA
If you will watch Caitlin Clark shot she is ruining it it used to have Arch but the farther she has shot from the outside the flatter her shot has got the further she has tried to shoot the ball from the outside the flatter her shot has gotten and that causes a shot to have to be exactly perfect there cannot be one half inch room for error when a shot has very little Arch the more Arch it has the more chance it has of going in but you can't shoot from that far out and put that much Arch on the ball because she doesn't have enough power and that's not a knock against her she would improve her shot that is going on in the WNBA right now if she would start shooting from closer in and putting more Arch on her ball because she's missing a lot of shots that she used to hit that she is open on a flat shot will hit the back of the rim or the front of the rim if it does not go in look at where her shots are hitting the back of the rim and the front of the rim she needs more Arch on her shot and I can't believe her coaches especially a shooting coach which I don't know if the WNBA even has a shooting coach if you don't know the truth watching how these women shoot the basketball but somebody should be telling her if you can't Arch the ball from that range then don't shoot the shot until you get on a white machine and build your shoulders up some build your legs up some that's why it is very hard for her to ever shoot a fade away takes more strength especially from far out she used to have sometimes a mid-range jumper I don't see that anymore because you have to put more Arch on your shot to get it up over the big fat girls inside they aren't jumping so if you're jumping you ought to be able to put the ball over their heads and into the goal at mid-range to be honest with you the three-point shot has ruined more people shots and it has ruined the game of basketball if Michael Jordan was playing pro bowl today he would score 50 every game just going right up the lane because when the offense spreads out for 3-point shots that leaves the middle wide open Michael Jordan was going through the middle when there would be five guys there imagine what he could do with one or two the back to Caitlin she needs to put more Arch on her ball that's why she's missing so many shots in the WNBA they are on the money they are not like these other girls shots that Miss they are not to the left and they are not to the right they are on the money except the shot is too flat when she misses and it's too flat when she hits it's just 100% perfect when she hits but you can be 75% perfect on a shot if you got Arch on your ball if you're not listening to the left and you're not missing to the right there's a lot of room for a little bit actually it's not even off if it drops down through the hoop but she would hit a lot more shots with more Arch on her shots is what I'm saying and it's the truth there's many of us that played college ball before there's many of us that hot little kids how to play ball and how to shoot a shot correctly from the get-go and she has gotten where she has gotten from practice practice practice practice practice practice practice not from this great great ability that many in the league have and and have had she's a Lot Like Larry Bird I want to say she's like Steph Curry she's not that kind of athlete even for a woman Larry Bird had very little athletic ability and would still beat you and is still one of the top five players of all time but he had not the ability of a Michael Jordan or Kobe or Steph Curry or I could go on and on and on about the players that had more athletic ability than he did the difference was his practice his Relentless practice from the time he was a little bitty kid it never stopped all through his career until he messed up his back that's who he is closer like she shoots the ball better than he did as far as correctly he shot the ball behind his head but it's harder to block and he had more power to do that can a woman does in his upper body there's some players that get to be great even though they are not great athletes is she a good athlete she's a very good athlete but is she a great athlete no and if you can't see the difference between a great athlete and a real good athlete then you don't know anything about sports those that are real good athletes have to practice a hell of a lot more it doesn't matter Michael Jordan took 8 years I believe it may have been six before they made it to the championship game the cause one Michael Jordan no matter how great he was isn't enough you've got to have great players around you or at least real good players around you you've got to have players that know how to sit a pic correctly nowadays ya'll call it a scream more than anything else and on defense you got to have players that call out a pic somebody is fixing to set on you so you don't get knocked on your ass the reason they are playing better is not necessarily Clark it is because she is getting used to them and they are getting used to her but they still need better players that's just the truth everybody's getting excited they'll be lucky if they make the playoffs and people that don't know basketball are talking about the championship that is just idiocy you can't expect that team with that coach and that's another thing they need they need a man coach that will teach them and it would be better if they had a man coach that actually coached in the NBA but that's not going to happen they need a coach that teach them how to play like boys how to play like men instead of playing like women I see these women shoot the shot and their feet never go off the ground especially the big fat ones I see them where they are right next to the basket or even under the basket and shoot the ball up and it hits the bottom of the rim that's your stupidity why not pivot off of one foot and come up off the glass it's like women do not know how to shoot the ball off the glass and there are very few that know how to do a correct jump shot they shoot the ball as they're going up in the jump instead of waiting to the get to the peak of their jump to release the ball God forbid any of them stay in the air for a second and then release the ball because that's what you have to do on a Fall Away jump shot that's what you have to do on a turnaround jump shot how many of those do you see in the NBA commentators make it out to be this great big deal if they do reverse layup kids in junior high even little dribblers can do a reverse layup I get tired of listening to women commentators they never shut up I have to mute it if I'm going to watch a women's game which I don't do very often because it's boring the main reason is they don't know how to play defense they don't have any mid-range jumpers and their 3 ft from the basket and they don't know how to use the glass so they missed most of those shots and then they're all in a puddle on the floor all six to 10 of them after every missed shot unless which is what usually happens they have no offensive rebounding as soon as Caitlin shoots a shot they all start running to the other end instead of rebounding how many offensive rebounds does that team have that's what I would like to know or any team in the WNBA there's lots of defensive rebounds the cars are very little offensive rebounds it's like they're not smart enough to know that if you rebound the ball on your end you got a better chance of putting it right back up I think so many of women coaches just suck as well as women commentators that just will not shut up they're supposed to call the play not tell us their life story or somebody else's story or explain the game to us they're supposed to call the game like they do in men's basketball
If you've never seen it before then you've never watched the NBA I'm definitely never watched Michael Jordan you definitely never watched Kobe Bryant some of the things you'll say about the women's league y'all build them up too big they are doing what they are paid to do and y'all make every little layup seem like it was the greatest thing of all time when there are little dribblers that can make more consistent layups than a lot of the college mislay ups that are open the WNBA missed layups that are wide open and there's Junior High boys that know how to shoot a jump shot better than women in the WNBA and yes I know you're talking about college but I'm talking about above college so if you never seen it before you don't know much about basketball
This content creator is pretty bais. Banging down low always have lower shot ratios! This guy is too young to remeber BBall in 70s 80s or 90s. Shaq would miss a lot of his 1st try shots also, but what was remarkable was his ability to get second, third and even 4th put back attempts. Charles Barkley was the same. But we cannot entirely compare womans BBall to mens. The fact that she is doing this as a woman in the W is far more amazing than men in the NBA. Yes she is undersized, cinsider that she is dominating the W like shaq dominated the NBA! She also missing these shotsvattempting to muscle through most times multiple defenders bodies, thats extremely hard.
Angel is dominant as a rookie and will only get better,especially when she gets stronger. Her upside is pretty high offensively she adds the midrange jumper to her game.
Reese will be the ROTY. CC is a better shooter but AR is a better player. For all of Clark's offensive acumen, she's only averaging 2 more points a game.
Some of y'all 🤦🏿♂️. The commentora during the gamr was so hyped about the double double🤦🏿♂️, i was trying to watch the game. Why y'all acting like double doubles a thing🤔, oh y'all just trying to make it something cause of ol girl👌🏿. Majority of the rebounds come on offense whenshe under the goal and the opposing team damn near goin back the other way🤷🏿♂️ ➡️ don't take so skill for that rebound 🤷🏿♂️. Now if she was getting blocks and points for double doubles then it might be something, but this here 🤦🏿♂️✌🏿
Caitlin Clark isn't efficient either she shooting at 37% if her shots are too difficult then she needs to change it up and she is leading in total turnovers and turnovers per game.
Reese gonna get another L against the Seattle Storm tonight. In addition, Reese will be exposed for what she is and put her in her place by one of the better teams. She is a one dimensional player who gets a lot of meaningless rebounds (offensive rebounds of her own missed layups uncontested defensive rebounds that clearly another Sky player could have rebounded). She is the awkwardly tall person who can't shoot straight and camps out under the basket waiting for a missed shot to simply drop into her awaiting arms. This gal struggles to make 4 baskets a game even though she benefits from the advantage of being taller than most. Work on your shot girl, it needs a lot of work.
Lies! Angel Reese was doing this in college. Broke double double records in NCAA. Having 61 double doubles out of her last 67 games past 2 seasons.Before Kardoso came off the injured list Angel already had 3 double doubles. More proof of so called fans only here to hate on Angel Reese. Lying about 💩 they don't know. You are a lying bigot. FACTS!!!"
She is great rebounder. But she is not the ROY. But, ESPN has already called out AR as the ROY. It is fixed and not legit. I guess the league cares not how the WNBA looks like a joke as a professional league. Unprofessional and not a legit league with honorable standards.
Thank you for this objective view of the great Angel Reese. I would vote for Angel Reese for Rookie of the Year 2024. EDIT: Player development in Chicago got Reese shooting 3's!!!
