Lauren Jackson: "Exactly the kind of athlete Chad Ford thought he was discovering back at the beginning of the century."
From Bethlehem Shoals of AOL Fanhouse who was at the Storm's win last night:
"While the WNBA's best pivot isn't a perimeter player, Jackson certainly roams freely, working her way in and out of the lane to either find the right spot to post or fire away from long-range.
This same approach holds on defense, where she'll alter a shot down low, only to leap out to pick up a guard who has found some open space. Ever seen a center get beat after trying to make a help steal on a point guard at the top of the key? I have with Lauren Jackson. And the scary thing is, she usually pulls it off. Jackson, who entered the league from Australia at age 19, is exactly the kind of athlete Chad Ford thought he was discovering back at the beginning of the century."
