You are right TB. The holding style she plays, where she plays behind the defender and protects that back space, requires greater height. With the English and Aussie defenders practising defending that style against Fowler, Aiken and the likes, week in week out, means they become very good against the holding shooter, and when they come up against a shooter that is less than 190cm, they actually get tips and deflections even on the high pass, unless it’s pinpoint accurate. Wilson hasn’t got that connection yet, except for MRB may be, and also, she tends to run in to the same space as Ekenasio. So it’s not that she is not a good player, but that she doesn’t combine well with the current attackers, the game style that DNT wants, and that the defenders have become more adept at defending taller holding shooters.
I think she could play GA, but i find she is a bit static for a GA, which i think comes from her GS style too. She needs to learn to better time her runs in GA and to constantly provide that option running towards the ball, not always running away in to the back space. Will also need to become comfortable with mid-long range shots.
