I think Amber is far from perfect but you seem to be fixated on finding mistakes rather than looking at the totality of her game.  If you did the same for any other player (ok, maybe not Chiney) you'd find plenty to document there as well.  I think Amber has areas she needs to improve.  She does tend to get into the offense more slowly than I'd like, for instance, though this is improving.  She is more methodical at times than maybe she should be and doesn't always have the execution of the offense perfected yet, but I don't see the lack of hustle you do, just that she is learning how to play college-level fast and has a demeanor that looks deceptive in that regard.  I don't see her getting beaten routinely on defense or not getting to loose balls, etc.  Sometimes younger players find the games moves faster than they can make decisions.  This is a soph point guard, she will make mistakes.  Her stats compare favorably with Boyd over at Cal in shooting percentage, assists per game, A/TO ratio, etc. and scoring is very close.  Amber's A/TO ratio is actually better than Bria Hartley of UConn, believe it or not, and very close to Chelsea Gray of Duke, just to drop some big names.  Now I don't pretend Orrange is comparable to Gray, but I do think you are missing the good things she does, and overemphasizing what you perceive as not good.  The long posts detailing her supposed failings come off as nitpicking to me.
