Cyclones add post transfer Isnelle Natabou

I agree with this. On offense Addy seems more natural on the wing as a three and Jalynn a more natural 4 right now. On defense I could see Addy guarding the 4 and Jalynn the 3 depending on the matchups. Addy is very skilled for 6’2”, so I think we can run a lot of offense through her.

I don't know what you guys are seeing, but it's nowhere near what I'm seeing. Brown is the 2 and Bristow is the 3. Brown has the build to play post even. Bristow is more slight, is a better ball handler and has a game that fits the three better. In addition, she is quicker than Brown and likely better able to defend on the wing than Brown. I like Brown's game as well, but she's not going to be able to defend against Big 12 guards for a full game, whereas Bristow likely can. Brown can still pass and distribute as a 4 or 5, so I don't see that as an issue.

I agree with some things here. I would see Brown at the 3 on offense and Bristow at the 4. On defense, I would see Brown guarding the 4 and Bristow guarding the 3. Brown's offensive game is more skilled at this point and she can score from all three levels. Bristow is very long and athletic, but most of her scoring plays on offense appear to be near the basket. The two of them played AAU together and I am pretty certain that Brown played as a wing and Bristow played as a post on offense. It is pretty awesome that these two girls are 6'2" to 6'3" and we are not talking about them at the 5. We are going to be a lot longer than in years past.

I don't agree that Brown's offensive game is better than Bristow's either. I think Bristow is the better scorer and better three-point shooter. She also has a drive to the basket game like Brown does too. Brown does some things better, like distribute, but I think Bristow is the better overall player. I would, however, rate them 1A and 1B. Crooks would be 1G because she has some things to work on, like defense, stamina and three-point shooting, but she has scoring from the post, passing and rebounding down pat.

Caveat: I'm by no means a basketball analyst and am probably wrong more than I'm right when it comes to that. This is just what I've observed from the videos I've seen on each.

They are both going to be very talented freshman. It is going to be fun to see develop at ISU.
