I'm a broken record, but I feel like we should be running more plays to get our shooters open. There's no reason we shouldn't be able to get our shooters the same shots Booker gets. Especially Rice, because she's our best dribbler.
But, we can run one of our shooters through multiple screens like Texas does Booker. And, Rice or Kneepkens could shoot a similarly high percentage on those middies.
The point would not be to increase our shooting % - we shoot a very high percent. It would be to reduce our turnovers. We get a lot turnovers trying to force passes into tight spaces. This would make the passes easier.
And, side benefit, if the opponent is super focused on fighting through screens or switching to deny the shooter the ball, then there's a good chance they're falling asleep on Lauren. Or at least not double teaming her.
