RE: Lockett to Play in the Women's College All-Star Game
Q definitely showed some things in the All-Star game. Was not wearing her brace. Scored 11 I think (can't find a box,) got a handful of boards, sometimes over taller players, some steals, several nice assists, one big block and played some good D. Things she didn't do well was finish - missed several layups (mostly contested), and committed a bunch of fouls.
But, she looked like one of the 2 or 3 fastest/quickest players on the court. A couple times she got a rebound and sprinted with the ball down to the other end flying by all the defenders and got to the basket. She got herself open a lot, which not many of the players did. She lost her defender and found lanes to the bucket several times and got feeds from her teammates. On D, played well against Fair and some others, but got stuck guarding bigs like McKenzie Holmes off of screen-and roles several times. She didn't give an inch, but that's where she picked up some fouls.
She did not start, but her team played a 5-player hockey-rotation, switching out all 5 around half-way through the 1st 3 quarters. Interesting thing though, they had the starters in for the end-game, except they also subbed in Q who finished the game with them. So the coaches must have seen something to trust her more than some of the other options. Unfortunately, her team did not win, as they kinds fell apart the last quarter, giving up a huge lead.
Clearly showed she belonged on the court with those other players, but needs to be able to finish and keep improving her shooting to make it at the next level I think.
