We need someone who can dribble the ball against pressure, and we need

to be able to punish teams who extend full court against us. Instead Storm (or anyone but Pedulla) can barely get the ball across mid-court and as soon as we do, we stop and allow the defense to reset. It's not just the size of our wings. They can't dribble drive so we can't punish anyone for extending their defense for 80+ ft.

Also, now people are extending their half court defense outside the 3pt line. So now we can't get a 3 pt shot off that's not pressured. But we still can't make them pay because we're loaded with shooters who aren't very good at the one basketball fundamental that starts when you're 5 years old.
