you know, cross body finishes, whether it's floaters at the rim, whether it's quick floaters, long floaters, you know, euros, you can't quite be as fundamentally predictable with as much athleticism, speed, quickness, and as much as the game plan is going to be geared toward her.

And then I think the challenge for us as coaches is how do we get a rest when she's on the floor while she's playing, right? Like while she's on the floor and some of that's going to be playing off ball, utilize her as a screener,

getting her into action on the third and fourth side instead of the first and second where it's easy to game plan against um now how we use her to help everybody else be better off the ball we know how great she is with the ball in her hands we're not going to take that away but we've got to be able to diversify a bit in how we use her so from those kind of challenges as well i mean we've got like a short-term kind of list and and we got a long-term kind of list but but caitlin

Now I remember from the very first day when we were working on balance and we were working on footwork and we were looking at all those things from day one to day two, she had it. Wow. Like, like she's a perfectionist and she, she wants it and she's going to work on it. So that long list might get shorter every day. Every day we're in practice.

Yeah, I think number one, yes, you're absolutely right. I love the way that they work together in the two-man game. They got so good at reading one another. You know, I think Aaliyah is an outstanding facilitator as well from that post position. So we're going to use her a little bit more like a hub, right? Like a little bit more like a, like a Jokic.

and how she gets the ball and whether that's, you know, in the trail, you know, in a lot of our stuff in flow or whether that's on the block, I don't want her to have to work as hard, like one-on-one, you know, I don't want her to have to just, you know, pound and pound and body and dribble in a one-on-one situation to get shots. We want to make her life easier.

How can we get her touches at the rim where she can just go right into her finishes? How can we get her touches off the block where then we can run off ball action and she can be a facilitator. Then she can get into other actions where, that allow her to move after she's gotten rid of it to get some easy buckets, as opposed to just everybody knows a strong side pick and roll is coming.

So a little bit more movement, a little bit more usage in her in terms of facilitating and a little bit more versatility in her game. I mean, challenging her to become a consistent, doesn't have to be high volume, but a consistent three-point shooter, like looking for those, you know, being able to use other aspects of her game outside of just pounding with her back to the basket.

Kelsey was our number one priority in free agency, making sure that we're re-signing her, making sure that she understands how important she is to everything that we are going to do. She is probably the one person on our roster that can just get a bucket, doesn't need any help.

I think our ability as a staff to move her around and utilize her strengths and her ability to get downhill, she doesn't need a screen. She doesn't need the two-man, the ability to get downhill, the ability to use her in two or three actions to get her wide open looks, to use her speed in the open floor, to put her in positions.
