I think the injuries plus adjusting to college speed had her over thinking a lot this year. She looked unsure and nervous. But I can tell she is a baller and believe she'll play a bigger role this year. I would like a starting 5 of Gilbert, People's, Nixon, Vaughn, and either Abby or Sam depending if we go big or small. With a lot of Dani mixed in.

my thoughts on Nixon

Just my opinion, but I think Anaya People's will end up at PG this upcoming season and Nixon coming off the bench but getting many more minutes of playing time. She needs to work on her ball handling and her speed and agility. She is a half-step too slow. With that said, I think she has a ton of potential and a lot of hard work and she will be a hell of a player in a couple more years.
I tend to agree with your assessment of Nixon's play.

Whether it was insecurity or nervousness, Jordan did not play with the intensity or "sense of urgency" required on the defensive end. And, it seemed like the staff lost confidence in her because of it.

If we could just give some of what Rudy, uh, I mean Abby has to other members of the squad...
