I like her:
Athleticism
Intensity
Agility
She has the makings of a GREAT post player. Will we start to see it this year? We might be surprised.
Again, just my personal subjective opinion. Your mileage may vary.

I figured she had all of that but that her lack of bbiq was going to hold her back for a while. Wow, she's a fast learner. Just from the exhibition to now she's mostly lost that, where am I supposed to be??, look on her face. And only steamrolled one opposing player the entire game! This keeps up we may see a whole new inside defense/offense.

She is also (at present) our best big in the FT department, though I have to say Jo has improved in that regard as well.
One thing Jo is doing better than PM at present (surprisingly) is getting down the floor quickly. We rewarded Jo once on that, and had one or two other chances to do so. I was looking for PM's top gear down the floor, don't think we have seen it yet.
I think we will continue to see PM spell Jo off the bench against teams with a post presence that is more than our forwards can handle height wise, but I think Jo is also improving noticeably in corralling rebounds, BLOB plays (new wrinkle this game - BLOB where the inbounder almost just hands the ball to Jo up high, and then either Jo goes up with it, or returns it to the inbounder standing right behind Jo for a midrange baseline jumper or to pass out to the arc......
Back to PM - she is very athletic (varsity swim team in HS), and obviously a quick study. I expect her minutes to ramp.....
Go Beavers!
