Looking ahead to next year

And with Mulkey coming in the next year, I would think that if there's any chance Odimgbe could develop a face-the-basket game, we'd try her at forward.

I think McKenna can develop into that face-the-basket game as well. She's the only post that has an outside shot (or at least attempted them). She reminds me a lot of Joanna, although a little taller. She can get up and down the floor quickly for her size. One of the downsides of having a full roster is not enough playing time for all the players. I think during offseason McKenna should really work on her face the basket game. She's hit the outside jumper before so I'm pretty sure she played that way in high school. I haven't seen Odimgbe play so I don't know if she could play that way but I think McKenna has that opportunity if she works at it. The only problem is I don't see too many teams these days with 2 bigs down low (Breanna Stewart, although 6'4" isn't a big in her play - she plays like a wing) so defensively would we be giving up something?
