With her maturity and experience, Chloe brings stability to this team, and her fine all around game, combined with that reassuring presence at the point, has certainly been a key to the way this team maintains its flow and rhythm at the offensive end of the floor. Defensively, she has great anticipation and gets her hands in the passing lanes as well as anyone we have had here in a long time. Deflections and steals are a major part of her defensive style. She does all this without getting into foul trouble as a rule, and that, too, is a great asset. I hope that the young players are watching and learning, as I suspect that they are.
Combine her effort with that of Didi Richards and Juicy Landrum and bring Cox into the mix and our defense out on the floor away from the paint is probably as good as we have ever had here. Mulkey has changed her strategy to take advantage of that, and we make opponents work harder than they are accustomed to out at the three point line. We have never defended out there as well as we are now doing and the results speak for themselves.
We may give up a few more two point plays, but even there we are strong with out quickness and mobility, combined with the presence of Lauren and Kalani in the paint.
