Adelaide Lightning 2016/17?
I agree, VO. If you add Hodges to the current team then you're one decent wing player away from being pretty dangerous I reckon.

Mitchell yes
Reuf yes
+ any TRUE opals squad level 5 (ex or current) would see several wins for this group.
compared to the townsville bigs, Reuf is a power forward
Ciabattoni, like most of the local players, NOW needs a role defined for her, rather than just the one size fits all that seems a central tenet of the offenses that this group run.
she shone against the caps when she was left with no option but to shoot from 3 or drive into the zone, caps were so surprised at anyone driving into the paint that she scored twice, don't think that was the outcome of the offence.
The locals have some experience now, they (should) realise there is a huge step between local ( and US college) and WNBL , and that none have the all round game required to be an immediate impact player, but they could be a starting 5 role player 9 even a 10+ scorer) if they accept a role.
JMHO
Mitchell desperately needs a perimeter player to kick out to after she collapses the D with a drive, or a 5/4 that hits the foul line behind her drive to pop one over the top.
