Quick rant on Lexie Hull
For 2 years in a row people have used selective endpoints to try and downgrade her shooting ability
Last year she had a stretch where she shot bad. Right now this year she’s in a slump.
The bottom line is that over the last 2 seasons she’s shooting 43% from the three-point line on 155 attempts.
Her overall field goal percentage is down this year because her volume of mid range shots is way up because she’s not as often not getting the catch and shoot threes that one gets from playing with Caitlin Clark.
Having said that…. It’s not as if she isn’t a good player without CC.
Lexie Hull is:
Part of 5 of the 6 statistically top five man lineups for the Fever this year.
Part of ALL FOUR of the top 4 four man lineups.
Part of ALL THREE of the top 3 three man lineups.
Part of BOTH of the top 2 two man lineups.
Of those 14 lineups, CC is a part of just five.
Lexie’s impact goes beyond simple statistics which is why I think there’s so many negative opinions about her game.
We saw it in the offseason when so many didn’t want her to start over DeWanna Bonner.
I was not one of those people.
Sophie Cunningham is playing great now so I’m not trying to say anything bad about her but she’s not apart of any of the statistical best 4, 3, or 2 man lineups for the Fever.
The two 5 man lineups that she’s in that are atop the list for the Fever played just over 20 minutes together, which is obviously a minuscule sample size.
And somehow we’ve managed to make it this far and said nothing of Lexie’s defense. As you can expect, she’s the number 1 guard on the Fever in defensive win shares.
All this to say that high level POA defenders that can shoot like Lexie Hull does don’t grow on trees.
I love an egoless blue collar player who gives it their all every night and doesn’t mind whether she starts or plays off the bench.
I am personally not worried at all about her slump, and while I am excited for CC to return so she can be the best version of herself, she’s pretty damn good individually as well.

I really hope that in a couple years after Karen Read is tucked safely away in prison, there's a documentary where everyone muses in stunned introspection about how so many people ever bought in to her innocence.

My thoughts on the #karenread trial before round two begins.
1) The kerfuffle around the trial is sadly serving as a distraction from the sad reality that a beloved man died that night.
2) I tend to believe that the simplest explanations are the most probable (Occam’s Razor). In the death of John O’Keefe I see two simple explanations. The first being that, given the conditions, he simply slipped and fell perhaps while hurling a glass at Ms Read’s car and that the head injury he suffered soon rendered him unconscious and he died where he fell. The second being that Ms Read struck him with her car and thereby causing the injuries that led to his passing.
However, as to the second explanation, all objective scientific evidence points to the fact that Mr O’Keefe was not struck by a car, making the first explanation the most likely. And frankly no other explanation is truly supported by sufficient evidence, leading me to conclude that this was an unfortunate accident and not a crime.

Bb fans: “Let’s trash the new cast before the season even begins!”
The same bb fans: “why would CBS take away the live feeds playback?!”

This coming from a guy who openly says Kathleen Peterson was killed by an owl. What about her family?
An important read, regardless of your opinions about what went down that night. True crime tribalism at its worst. #karenreadtrial
