Welcome back, Las Vegas Aces ending possessions.
Like the defensive rebounding has just felt a whole lot better as of late, which kind of ties back into an earlier Asia point that I wanted to make where she is doing this right now.
And this has been the year for her.
And there's very obvious room for Asia to get even better.
Converted 45% of her mid-range shots last year.
She's converted about 35% of them to start the year.
And she is still leading the league in scoring and doing so super efficiently.
And that is like the shot for her.
Pick and roll defense has been very good, hasn't been elite yet, at least statistically, not right now.
As they gain more comfort, as they get healthier, I would imagine that's going to get better.
To the rebounding portion, has not been her best rebounding season in terms of boxing out, finding bodies, being able to attack the glass that way.
Low-hanging fruit for her to grab.
Like I tweeted about the screening the other day, and like that's been much better over the last three or four games.
It is scary that Asia Wilson, one, just continues to get better to your overarching point about the way that she's moved, what the three-point shooting feels like in addition to the efficiency.
Even within what she already does, there's levels for her to be even better.
And as she gets more comfortable in shape, et cetera, we are going to once again hit the what on earth do you do with Asia portion of the program.
