Another Dismal Performance from the Waves

I like the coach and think he has done a good job, West Coast have the least talanted list in the wnbl so to finish last is no surprise.
Looking at next season, Smith should be back and we know she can get 15pts a game and has good ball control which will help limit turn-overs, they have some good young players who will improve, they need a strong very good center, someone like Jessica Adair or Krista Phillips, this would make a huge difference and give them a good chance to win their home games. I like the NZ girls they have but there is just to much pressure on them because of the lack of talent, they too will improve once Smith and another top quality big is there. You would also hope they can find another tall guard or small forward who can penetrate and draw fouls, a Mia Newley type player I think.
One more thing I would like West Coast to try is to isolate Wallbutton more often so she can take her usually taller defender off the dribble and draw fouls this way, I have seen her do this in the past and she has a decent quick first step, but it just doesn't happen enough.

KK is a top notch coach who does get the best from committed talent.

His obvious leaning toward NZ may hurt a bit but if he's given a few years he should be able to build a competitive roster.

A little patience will pay off!!
