This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Sorry for Gilding the Lily! by dillon77

There's just been a mess of posts and thread floating around on these subjects and it was all top of mind.

I'll be very interested in seeing:
- What Bill Laimbeer does with his backcourt between seasons. There's a couple of combo guards (Plum, Young) and K-Mac who is at her best catch and shooting.
- If KLS takes the next step up, after a season overseas. Like you, I think some of her skill set was a bit light, but overshadowed by her shooting and passing skills and the overall excellence of her UConn teammates. Notably, Got to see defense and rebounding improve and overall strength.
- While some wonder if there's enough balls on the court for Arike and Skylar, I'm not particularly concerned about it. Both have played with other talented offensive players and I think they get the "we" and "I" parts of it.
