Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 5063389, member: 1131"] I think that the best UConn alumna to compare to Paige in the upcoming season is (wait for it ...) Maya Moore! Obviously Paige is not as strong, especially in her upper body, as Maya was. But she is just as tall, just as fast, can probably jump higher, can rebound almost as well, and can handle the ball far better than Maya. Their jump shooting skills are similar. And if Paige plays the 3 as I expect, she will play that position as well as Maya did, i.e., at an All-American level. Although Maya would have been classified as a small forward, she never played in the paint or with her back to the basket. Her function was to spread the floor by having to be guarded wherever she went. Renee Montgomery and Ketia Swanier handled the PG duties even though Maya was an excellent passer. And Paige will do the same, most likely with Kaitlyn Chen as her PG. Or maybe KK or Ashlynn. [/QUOTE]
