As far as Michele playing the high post, it is much better offensively when we do. If you watch at lot of centers play then you notice they set the picks up high. If the defender goes under the screen then the 3 point shooter has an open shot. If the defender goes over the screen then the center goes on a roll (pick n roll) to the hoop. Michele will be going against much bigger centers in the ACC. As a staionary target down low, she is not much of a threat. But when she rolls , she is more athletic thn the center who defends her and she has a path to the basket.
I figure it is worth between 10 and 20 points a game if you do this correctly.
That is no doubt correct for just about everybody else. But no one can explain Michelle, and I am sure that Charmin can't either. In her junior year, Michelle averaged only 14 minutes per game and fouled out five times. In her senior year, she averaged only 19 minutes per game and fouled out 9 times. Anything that can keep her on the court is better than having her on the bench. We especially need her rebounding.
If you go back and look at the Utah game in the PAC12 tournament her junior year, she played a phenomenal game, and it looked like the light had turned on. But then it went back out again.
