This ability to ramp up to top gear -- often called "burst" speed -- is very much apparent in the way she can move at fast speed in between b-ball moves. It's akin to clearing a hurdle and maintaining/getting back up to sprint speed. Comes in handy. CharlieBball and I have watched Michelle Sidor, a highly ranked shooting guard from Saddle River Day in NJ and she can run hard -- and at pace -- all game long, much like the soccer midfielder she once was. Helps with running defenders off screens and/or breaking presses. Paige has good endurance,but strikes me as being more of a sprinter at this stage in her career. She'll only get stronger as she ages. [/QUOTE]
