Mix in Citron now being an inside and outside threat

versus pinned down by needing to be our PG and/or pinned to the outside to represent our only shooter and it gets better. Her next level down shooting percentage suddenly becomes elite in a different way because of the other two plus an elite PG also being on the floor with her.

If teams want to stop her from being able to drive, they have to pull someone away from our PG to do that most likely. Giving us that instead - and then Citron as a 2nd outside shooter is way above average compared to what other teams (even elite ones) have as a second outside shooter.

Elite teams tend to have 1 great forward for sure and 2 great guards for sure. You quickly get down to 2-3 teams at most that can then come up with a 4th one to match up well -- and that's what ND will be forcing everyone to do when we throw 3 of HH/SC/ER/OM out front and then 1 of MW/CP and 1 of Marshall and Watson.

Compare that to last year (and since 2019) when elite teams easily could match our top 3 and we didn't really have that next elite player that they couldn't match -- instead we had more normal players to match or we had an imbalance / missing piece entirely that wiped out what else we had.
