Message: [QUOTE="Sluconn Husky, post: 2515375, member: 5089"] In-depth piece on Azzi Fudd: [I] “She’s like Kawhi Leonard. It’s hard to say what position she is, she’s just Azzi and does everything, you know?” St. John’s Coach Jonathan Scribner said before the season. “You just don’t see it very often. She is something that’s different. You’re seeing a unicorn.” ... Azzi is technically a combo guard capable of running an offense and thriving as an off-ball scorer. But, as Scribner pointed to, it is hard to define her as just that. She is a high-percentage three-point shooter and has the upper-body strength to score inside. She is a strong perimeter defender and can protect the paint. She played point guard for Team USA’s gold medal-winning 16-and-under team this summer — as a 14-year old — but Coach Carla Berube said, “We could also rely on her to guard all five positions.” ... Her first scholarship offer came from Maryland, when she was in sixth grade, and the 5-foot-11 guard has since been recruited by a large handful of power-conference programs, including Stanford, Tennessee and Connecticut, whose legendary Coach Geno Auriemma stopped in to see her work out this fall on an otherwise normal day at St. John’s in Northwest Washington, D.C. “What do you think it was like?” she asked, smiling at her own sarcasm. “I was so nervous.” Well, did it show? “No,” she shot back, smiling even wider. “I crushed it that day.”[/I] [URL="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/she-does-everything-freshman-is-already-one-of-nations-top-high-school-recruits/2018/01/09/c19b79f6-f49f-11e7-91af-31ac729add94_story.html?utm_term=.a85917107870"]‘She does everything’: Freshman is already one of nation’s top high school recruits[/URL] [/QUOTE]
