I agree; Fran had 5 rebounds, including 4 on the offensive end, but she was 3/10 and is not showing much offensively, which might be critical, going into the postseason.
Going forward into postseason play, opposing coaches will surely try to get Brink into foul trouble early and with her on the bench, we would lack a go-to back-to-the-basket post threat on the offensive end. I think Prechtel does most of her damage from the wing, either on a 3-point or at the elbow, on a mid-range. Belibi looked like that second option in the paint, especially after her 10/14 performance in the first ASU game, but after that rocky mid-season stretch and being relegated to the bench, she has not contributed much offensively.
