Agree...after watching a few wNBA games the game seems to revolve around the following:
decent 3 point shooting
Pretty good passing most of the time
Easy “drive to the basket” layups( almost no lay ups in NBA)
Play around the basket is kinda sloppy..
Almost no tip-ins, almost never slam dunks..
Not much defense...
Lots of “carrying over”, and “steps”
Just looks like a “scrimmage”
Game needs:
Strong rebounds
Offensive put backs
Full court defensive pressure
More midrange 2 pointers
Pattern plays...backdoor passing
Slow down set up offenses...seems like “run and gun” now.
IMHO.
Good analysis.
I think the point being here is that
THE WNBA NOT ONLY LACKS FROM A GENERAL HIGH STANDARD OF PLAY, IT PROBABLY LACKS EVEN MORE FROM A LACK OF GOOD COACHING.
There’s plenty of room for improvement, but at all levels, people are tuning in.
I am in particular impressed by this young man:

MAYBE he can coach the team.
There are more fans to the game than I ever realized, ie they appreciate the chess like moves.
So, I think the two of us are in agreement, that if you get a super coach, who is bringing home all the things you’ve listed, The Fever for one, will be a super team.
