Another record, this one for the Masked Marvel

For those who may not know- the above means that for every 4 assists KK makes, she has only one turnover. It’s a statistic that indicates a point guard (or anyone’s) ability to secure the ball while facilitating the offense

If I recall correctly, an assist to turnover ratio of 2.0 to 1 is average
 
There are 70 D1 players with A/TO >= 2.0. (Source: Torvik):
  • Six are from UConn: KK (4.2), Kayleigh (2.5), Sarah (2.2), Azzi (2.1), Allie (2.1), Ash (2.0).
  • Three are from UCLA: Rice (2.8), Leger-Walker (2.6), Kneepkens (2.6).
  • Three are from South Carolina: McDaniel (4.9), Johnson (3.4), Ta’Niya (2.3).
  • One is from Texas: Harmon (3.9).

It is elite, especially when you consider our pace of play.

After each of the past 2 games, Geno’s first comment during his postgame remarks was to praise KK for getting the Huskies off to a strong start. While Sarah and Azzi are the clear stars of this team, no one does more to establish the relentless pace & pressure of each UConn game than KK.

I think a 2:1 A:TO is a solid number for a good/very good point guard.

And yet, she's not in the final top 5 for the Nancy Lieberman award. I'll take a great ATO ratio over points scored, any day.

Forgive if I'm wrong, but I don't think she was even nominated
 
KK is fantastic. She just gets lost in the shuffle as she platooned with K Chen and now K9, plus is eclipsed by the glare of Paige, Azzi, Sarah and up and coming Blanca.

She should definitely be an all-america candidate next year. Question will be if she can overcome her situation, and then how do these other established stars play.

To KKs credit, she only worries about championships. Awards or not, some WNBA team will be very happy to have her.
 
While It may be premature to call KK an AA candidate just yet, we all acknowledge how great it is that she has come into her own recently at PG and now can be considered alongside Sarah and Azzi as one of the VIPs on this team. It will be necessary and critical that she maintains this level of play throughout the NC for UConn to win it all. Even better would be if this sudden surge of excellence would extend to her playing partner, Ash, thus assuring us of #13.

Curious...whts her situation?
 
Way to go, KK!! That is very impressive and it just shows the growth and skill set of KK. It was just a matter of time. She has adjusted each year to whatever role she has been placed for the team and done well.

Here are some of UCONN PG career A/TO numbers

Jefferson - 2.65
Bueckers - 2.65
Dangerfield - 2.59
Arnold (to date) - 2.43
Muhl - 2.12
Bird - 2.11
Taurasi - 1.84
Montgomery - 1.80
Rizzotti - 1.57

I'll leave it to someone else to figure out who's elite/average.

If I can find the time, I'll take a look at "best years" for them.
 
Ok, I found some time.

Best single season A/TO.

Arnold (to date) - 4.16

How about all are elite, but just different individually and surrounded by different teammates. For me, the most "Wow" moments of "How did she do that" were 1. MoJeff and 2. Bueckers, but all were/are great and I miss seeing them...

I was just teasing Nancy a bit with her 2.0 is average. ;)

As info, KK’s 4.08 A/TO ratio places her 2nd in the nation to Quinnipiac’s Paige Girardi and just ahead of TX’s Rori Harmon.

Great to see that the top two guards with the highest A/TO ratios are playing in CT.
