Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3304970, member: 730"] No, but you described DD as having all sorts of individual skills, (which she did have), but without the ball she stood around on the perimeter and waited till she got it again. Never saw her setting a screen. Never saw her help out on defense. She shot 28% from 3 and still took 5/game. I admit she had a great handle and could finish with either hand but she took 15 shots a game and hit a mediocre 43%, which to me says she maybe needed to learn to actually make shots with one hand before becoming ambidextrous. I watch amazing videos of HS guards in dribbling drills that boggle the mind. But all that "tricky dribbling" is just flash unless the ball goes in the hoop. DD had polish to her dribbling game that made her look better than she was. Maybe that wasn't all her fault as that was the year Hatchell got sick I believe and the coaching at UNC never spent much time practicing defense anyway. I just don't think I want any UConn player to ever use DD as a role model for how to play basketball. [/QUOTE]
