The Vikings will, in the end, take them as far as Madden goes. She entered this season already an 1,000-point scorer, who averaged about Madden 22 coins a 16-point double-double over the past two years, and is likely to soon exceed 1,000 career rebounds.
Madden has been the most important player in Blue River's return to postseason glory as the team's Tuesday night's win by 77-63 over Wapahani (4-2) demonstrated her importance. Madden scored 27 points, 12 of which came in the fourth quarter , which stopped the Raiders coming back efforts and dominated the paint all game on both ends.
Madden is asked to do more during the season. Her role as mostly an interior player has been expanded to include occasionally, play out on the perimeter and do more shooting and playmaking.
Blue River's guards may not be as skilled as they were during previous seasons, so in games where teams are playing in a press defense as Wapahani did with the 6-foot-1 Madden assists in moving the ball back up when the point guard gets trapped.
Halfcourt also runs through Madden. Bales The goal of Bales is to make sure she gets the ball down low to either score or kick-out to shooters when defenses collapse. Madden is making a lot of quick swing passes as a result, which has led to a record-setting 2.5 assists per game average to date.
"I enjoy (the added accountability)," Madden said. "I am aware that sometimes I'm adept at getting the team moving which is why I feel that whenever we can start the ball moving quickly, and me being out there, that might help us get more motivation."
Madden's offensive partner is Chamberlin who's perimeter skill set complement Madden's inside presence. Even though Chamberlin has been struggling to shoot the ball this year, she averaged 15.9 scores per game last year, scoring 45% of her total shots, and she threw 72 triples at 41.
Her passing might be her most valuable contribution, however it is a shame that what Blue River boasts in shooting it's weak in guard playmaking. Chamberlin's 3.2 assists per game in 2013 has grown to 4.3 per game to date this season. The security she buy Mut 22 coins draws helps Madden and the others on the team's shooting team succeed.
