Timea?

I noticed based in her recruiting rating thst she would be acheiving the same way reagon is or better. Reagon carried her team in high school but timea had a 16 rated team in the country because she had two other teamates who were D-1 prospects also.

I personally think timeas injury has affected her worst than reagons. They both had ACL. I see timea in the same way thst the girl we started alot last year who transfered at the end of the season, shallexxus arron. That girl had Major ACL you could tell her ability to turn and speed was affected by her injury. That fact hampered coaches ability to play her more. I think that coach cant start timea more because reese is a better fit hieght wise and mobility wise then timea. Coach needs more defence and inside threat then timea can give unless she beats out reagon. Or reagon surcomes to injury. One mans opinion.

As good of a scorer she is, she has a lot of growth to do on defense. 

She's not big enough to guard a true Pac12 post player and not quick enough to guard shifty guards in space.

Had we not picked up Kelsey she would be starting at the 4 spot but Kelsey is a much better defender and the best 3 point shooter on the team. 

Very few players live up to their high school hype. She's going to be a phenomenal player once she figures out defense. 

Timea averages 20 minutes per game, Raegan and Kelsey about 25 each. In her 20 minutes, Timea shoots 45.2% overall and 40.6% on three's. She averages 9.1 points per game and 7.9 rebounds. Those are certainly good numbers. Most importantly, she doesn't need to put up Caitlin Clark type numbers for the Beavs to win.

I think Scott has found a rotation for his bigs that functions very smoothly, and Timea coming in as '6th man' is a large part of that. She seems much more aggressive this year than last, a much more tenacious rebounder. Quick release on her shot, which goes in at a very acceptable clip. She seems to me to be coming along very, very nicely this year. She seems to be comfortable in her role right now, and doing whatever it takes. She's very good, and getting better.

Is she going to be a head case who opts to go elsewhere so she can be the star? I don't think so, but who the hell knows? My gut tells me that if she was going to be a Greta and blow town 18 minutes after the final game ends without even taking time to do the laundry, she would have done so last year. I believe she's here for the duration, like Talia, but it is an immensely strange time to be an OSU athlete. She seems grounded though; I am very optimistic.

Besides, who else is going to take her to Hawaii every December?

This is a little thing, but something I have come to love about Timea. When the team comes to the sideline for pre-game introductions, Timea is ALWAYS the last in line. Last game I was watching her more closely and saw her step aside so other players could pass her and she would be last. This allows her to touch hands with every other player, and when she gets near the end she puts her head back and lets loose a loud yell that is about as clear an expression of enthusiasm and determination as I can tell. She's been doing this since last season. She seems to be all in with this team. I hope she never loses this sense of joy.

I really like her game and if she has any question about the value of a really good 6th person all she has to do is ask Aleah.   I'd be willing to bet that Aleah has had a conversation or two about with her.
