WBB fights off Weber

[Bobcat4Ever]

I'm sure I missed an announcement or something but where has Ava Ranson been?

Her last significant time was 2 weeks ago against Portland. She was dressed today but didn’t see the floor today or on Thursday.

Thanks for the update. Wonder what's going on there. I thought she had the potential to come in and be a star right away (kind of like White). Maybe she just needs more development.

I am with you. I thought she would be a major contributor this year. When on the court she just has "the look" of a good ball player but after watching her in action awhile she just seems to be a step behind the rest of the team this year....and a bit tentative. I'm not sure what it is. I am hoping she gets a bunch of time on the court this next week as we hit another 3 games in 6 days stretch so keeping legs fresh will be important....being from the state of Idaho I hope she gets out there a fair bit on Monday night and performs well for any family or fans present. Hoping she can rise to the occasion and be a key contributor down the stretch.

It's just a little crowded right now at the 2 spot with Limardo, Beattie, Jackson, and Van Sickle all logging minutes at that position. Ranson needs to improve her shooting accuracy. She has all the tools.

Agree it is crowded there and she is certainly down in shooting percentage this year. But she just looks out of sync with the offense when she is on the court...and as you know its kinda a chicken and the egg thing.... getting in sync helps with your shooting and gets you more floor time and if you don't get the floor time it is hard to get in the sync. Oh well..... like I said, I hope she starts getting the time as we are going to need her down the stretch here. And as you noted she has the skills to be a contributor.

She was a scorer in high school, as opposed to a pure shooter — but in a couple of games last year as a ‘Cat she dropped multiple threes in a hurry. Really had some big games in high school, especially scoring in transition. I’ve been watching her on defense and she is out of sync there, too. She’ll get beaten on defense or commit a weak foul and really gets a quick hook. Hopefully we can build some leads where she can get some longer stints and work through an error or two. We can really use her — she’s a top flight athlete. Go, Ava!

Thanks for all the info on how her development is going. I don't get to watch many games and since I haven't seen her in the few games I do get to watch, I didn't know where she was. Worried she might've been hurt or something. Good discussion!!

@blueandgoldblitz Ava is getting there — must have been putting in the work. She’s appeared in the now 10-player rotation in the last 3 games or so, which is depth that our very busy schedule has needed. She’s not getting tons of minutes, but she’s getting regular quality minutes now which will only help her development.

She took a heck of a charge in the second half. I thought they were gonna have to call in the highway patrol on that one.

No kidding. That Troy Andersen special should have been reviewed — that was delivered with bad intentions. But I think Ava got the better of it.
