I saw the women play last night in Gill for the first time this season, and to say that I was impressed is understatement. I have read about the maturity of Jones for this early, and she didn’t disappoint. She is so strong, and has really good hands, and was a great finisher. Her footwork and general ability in the pick and roll were so encouraging to see. That was missing blatantly last year, and Taylor and Kennedy both have great fundamentals. This makes the loss of Taya much more bearable, even if the thought of all 3 of them playing together this year would be amazing. Hopefully Taylor will keep working on free throws, because she is going to be a force.
Kennedy was also sharp and versatile. She was really tough on the arc, and very active. She will also be a force to deal with moving forward. She also played very good defense. Both of them were disruptive in the paint.
It was really fun watching Destiny facilitate with both of these young women. Her creativity set up several easy buckets, and you could tell that she really trusts these two. Last year, I could tell that she wanted to go inside with the ball, but confidence was not high that the ball would be caught cleanly and/or that we could threaten in the low post offensively.
