Back to basketball...Olivia Miles had a monster game last night. She broke the single game rookie 3pt record with 8 against GS. Her line was 28 pts, 4 reb, 7 ast, 3 blocks with only 1 turnover. Threes were the only real issue in her game this year. She had only two before last night. I would also say he defense is way better than advertised coming out of college.

Lost in the Miles hype is this insane stat:

In just 10 games, Nia Coffey broke the season record for blocked 3 point shots.

Bridget Carlton was a greatly underappreciated defensive / glue player for the Lynx. Coffey is even better in that role IMO.

Maybe Sweens or DL know.....was she that great on defense before coming here?

Yes, but more of a wing than a big like Coffey.

Carlton is a tremendous POA defender that can handle being switched onto smaller bigs.

Yep. Both are versatile POA and team defenders, but Coffey can better handle the physicality on the inside.
