With the absence of "bigs", good guard play can create some problems and the SA Islanders have been somewhat of a throwback team for me to watch, especially after losing their post Erin Wimberly. The good news is that Wimberly is back, well good for them, bad for opponents, as she is definitely a force inside but they have forces from everywhere and I'll start outside. Annabelle Tovar and Alexia Torres are gifted scorers that can simply shoot from different time zones, I've talked about their BB-IQ being among the best period and I love watching guards that simply get after it
Well they aren't the only ones as Tara Molina can light it up as well and when you have a trio of long ball threats that simply know the game and can play, well...... Look, on Sunday, that trio took the day off, no problem, how about Lunden Patterson drop three in one game or 2019 Ashley Adaszczyk going 6 for 9 in the same game. Hey, I'm serious so if ever you had a bomb squad, this is definitely one of them. Briana Soliz can get it done on both ends and still finds ways to be spectacular at times
Cindy Si is long and explosive and watching her in the open court always has me on the edge of my seat but when you have firepower of this magnitude, once the Islanders get going, it's definitely not a vacation. April Matthews simply explodes off the ground and has given me several highlight moments and the same can be said for Arianna Carver who at times can be unstoppable. This is an exciting team that has pulled off some huge wins over the past two seasons and the show ain't over
