Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3616190, member: 3535"] I look at Anna as a recipient on the break. IMO she is not a leader of fastbreaks. She’s too slow. I agree with you in that I didn’t like her as a PF at all. I think her strength is catching the ball at the 3pt line and either take a shot or make a good decision with a real good pass. I just think if Evina is a starting pg - if she is good enough to beat out Paige for pg-- then I think it means she adept at running a fastbreak. While Ana might be a better passer she is more Larry-Bird like. You hot Bird on the wing for fastbreaks,. Same you would do with Anna. And no way I'm saying Ana is LBird. As for Mir-- I have no idea what to expect (same with Edwards). But until I see with my own eyes Mir able to finish inside vs legit D1 teams I question in year 1 how much she can contribute. Further- because she is short (5'10 I think?) and not built for example like Gabby, I think her frosh year she can get pushed around quite a bit vs good teams. She looks like she can definitely press but I don’t know what else she can do other than defend players if they are her size. But offensively I don’t know UCONN can hang their hats on which is why I have her 5th as a pf if Griff and Edwards are deficient and UCONN needs one to start. [/QUOTE]
