50/40/90 shooting this year

[MilfordHusky]

We saw Phee shoot better than 50/40/90 in the WNBA season, and Paige frequently threatened 50/40/90 at UConn (FTs were the weak spot, relatively speaking). Which of the Huskies will challenge the 50/40/90 plateau this season?

--Azzi ALWAYS threatens that level. She needs to make a few more layups and hone her "middie" game.

--Ash has been over 90% on FTs as a frosh, over 40% from deep last year, and 48% both years. I think she can be close.

--Sarah shot well over 50% from the field and got her 3-point shooting up to 39%. Can she get to 90% on FTs?

--Any other candidates?

@MilfordHusky, my concern is that one day, possibly this year, a Husky like Sarah will achieve this stat, and you won't have a backup "go-to-stat" to reference each year. Just want to give you time to prepare and preserve your reaction score - just teasing my friend 😅

The tough one is the 90% for free throws. Paige would have had it easily last year but for the free throws. She was 112 for 126 or .8888. 113 would have gotten her to .8968 which arguably would have been enough, rounded up. 114 would have clearly done it.

You could tell when she missed some in the NCAAs that she was aware of where she stood. 7-7 versus South Carolina but 2-3 versus UCLA and 9-11 against USC.

For 2024-2025, Azzi was 47/44/92; Sarah was 59/39/74; and Shade 48/41/71.

Azzi clearly has the best chance because of her tremendous free throw shooting. Sarah has a long way to go to get to 90%.

Shade was almost automatic from the line in 2023-2024 but not nearly as good last season. Maybe she will rebound. She does not get to the line a lot so to get to 90% she really can't miss more than a few.

I think Ash had a bad game last year and missed 2 or 3 FTs.

I'm still trying to forgive you for claiming my local girl for your own this year. 😆

Azzi's potential is certainly 50/40/90.

If 3 players just miss the magical 50/40/90, that's not a bad thing. It's a very good thing.

 

[DEpup]

It is quite possible that you'll have 3 players flirting with 50/40/90 and then Serah could get her FG% up in the 60s like a true high value post player. That is formidable....

I’m thinking Azzi will be 50/60/95. 😀
