Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 3883917, member: 9844"] As a team we miss many layups, we are not a good free throw shooting team, and on three pointers our team percentage is ok just because of Paige being so exceptional at it. We have a high 2pt percentage because we are a great passing team that produces lots of easy shots, not because we are a great shooting team. Last year we had two great 3pt shooters that left in Crystal and Megan. Our team FT and 3pt% was much better, but as a team at least by Uconn standards our passing was mediocre. We lost much of that shooting, but added three point guards if you include Evina, and both Paige and Nika are great passers. Next year we can have great passing and shooting, look out! As for blown assists I see that frequently involving Nika as well. With either player you have to be ready to receive a pass even if not expecting it. AE in particular needs to pay more attention to that. I have noticed that when someone drives to the basket AE's mindset seems so focused on getting inside position for an offensive rebound (which she is very good at) that she forgets to pay attention to the ballhandler. You can't do that with Paige, Nika and sometimes Evina. [/QUOTE]
