The Golden State Valkyries Shock the WNBA: What No One Saw Coming Revealed!
Again, they aren’t doing this with a dominant rim protector as much as a scheme with solid defenders who have bought in to the system. It’s caused some offenses that rely on penetration to short-circuit. If average shooters aren’t willing to take semi-open 3-pointers against the Valkyries, possessions come to a screeching halt.
The Valkyries don’t generate a ton of turnovers, but they play with active hands to force opponents to think twice about long passes while the defense recovers. They’ll lean into disregarding non-shooters who run pick-and-roll as much as any team in the league, sometimes even dropping their bigs and having their on-ball defenders go under the screen.
