Also Kalana Greene. Aubrey is more athletic than both of them, however. Kalana and Ashley were both really good. But the upside on Aubrey is even higher I believe.

HA! I was ready to reply to your previous post with pretty much this. Aubrey's upside is tremendous.
 
Aubrey has the longest stride when she runs. It doesn't even look like she is moving that fast.
 
I believe UConn fans are more satisfied with Aubrey's play so far than Tennessee is with Jordan's play this far. Aubrey plays more under control in my opinion and may possibly become a more complete player.

I’m not a UCONN fan , but I’ve grown to like Aubrey. She’s my favorite player on this team and I wish her nothing but success. I do believe she’s more athletic than gabby and more well rounded on the offensive end as well.

Love Aubrey but she remains the typical UConn frosh. 20+ points one game, sits the next. Gabby was extremely consistent with what she did offensively. Didn't have every shot but unlikely to miss if under or near basket. If Aubrey proves to have near the offensive and defensive skills Gabby did, will be thrilled.
 
Just thought I'd point out that after Sunday's game, Aubrey ranks 7th in minutes played on the UConn team.

However, she's 5th in scoring average (6.6 ppg). She's first on the team in steals per game (1.5). She's 4th in rebounds per game (4.6). And she's 3rd on the team in blocks (4). And she's 4th on the team in free throws made (18).

Of course, if we look at all of those metrics in terms of per 40 minutes, she would be second on the team in rebounds per 40 minutes. and easily first on the team in free throws made per.

Pretty impressive for a kid who's a freshman and getting in for less than 16 minutes per game!

Devil's Advocate: what are her turnover and fouls committed stats?
Don't get me wrong, I am impressed with her and believe she may be the next Gabby type Huskie, but it appears to me that she has a bit of trouble in deciding to attack the basket with the ball. She seems to try to do this when two or more players are between her and the hoop.
But the sky is the limit in all other facets of her game.

Sometimes stats don’t tell the story. The question is how does the team function when she’s on the floor? Here’s why she rides bench.

It appears that she's 6th on the team in turnovers with 13, behind Makurat's 16. And she's 5th on the team in personal fouls committed with 9, tied with Crystal, and better than Makurat's 16 (yes, same number for Anna for turnovers and personal fouls).

So it doesn't appear that her fouls and turnovers are egregious.

Just FYI, Kyla Irwin has the fewest turnovers on the team, except for Molly Bent, who was on the floor half the minutes. And she's committed the fewest personal fouls (5). We're leaving out Adebayo...

Thanks for the stats update.

That is basically what Caroline Doty did as a RS Snr in 2012-13, with Mo typically coming in off the bench. But in order for Kyla to continue to fill that role, she needs to be a steady presence on the court. During this last game vs Wichita St, Kyla was a little shaky, particularly with her passing.
Expand ...
Kyla isn't an odd duck as I sometime want to think. She passes great and then makes 2 bad passes and I wonder : Eye problems. No, but she looks at times and does not see. Nothing angers me more than any player passing into a pack of opponents or to that single opponent in the open court. It frustrates ME, think about how Geno feels
I guess the question Geno asks and we should is: Is Kyla more valuable on the floor or on the bench AND who is there that plays better than she within the sub group. Most times it is NO-ONE. However, she has to feel the foot steps come up quickly behind her. Ania, Aubrey
Molly, paradox wonderment. She plays often well if only within the system and herself. Then she makes a 7th grade player mistake/action--why? She has had thousands of hours of practices at Uconn, with playing clean up in many games, and this year as the point in more than a few games--yet she does boneheaded things that hurt the team--WHY????

Not so typical Frosh. Maybe typical Frosh that becomes AA. Those that made 20 in a frosh game or 3 always were among the top as Jr Sr. Aubrey is destined to be among the top group of players as a Senior She'll have the offensive and rebounding skills of Gabby, defensive?? That's a separate question. She could be better, could. We as fans often forget what Gabby looked like as a Frosh--Players like Gabby, Moriah, Swin, Aubrey are not built over night but soon.

In the second game that Mantle faced Koufax (game 4 1963 WS), he hit a home run off of Sandy for the Yankees only run.
In the 1965 World Series, the Dodgers had this choice for starting pitcher in game 7.
They could pitch future Hall of Famer, Don Drysdale, on his normal 3 days rest, or Koufax on 2 days rest. They chose to go with Sandy. He shutout the Twins, giving up 3 hits and striking out 10.
Because of the short rest, Sandy didn't have anything resembling his normal curveball. So what did he do ? He threw 95% fastballs over the last 7 innings or so. Even though the Twins knew what was coming, they still couldn't hit it.
Statistical analysis was virtually non existent back then. But thanks to a dedicated group of baseball fans/statisticians, who inputted the data from old scoresheets, a few interesting stats have come to light.
How's this ?
The difference in lifetime road ERA between Koufax and Marichal is .01 (Marichal 3.03 - Koufax 3.04).

Nice post. I rank that Game 7 effort one of the most thrilling and mind-blowing championship game performances in any sport in modern* American sports history. Disclaimer: I was a big Koufax fan.

* Can we still call 1965 modern?

I'm gonna keep reminding you until you get it or the situation changes:
Kyla has the lowest TO per minute on the team, and the best A/TO ratio by a lot.
She has the fewest fouls per minute by far.
She has the best FG% and the best 3FG%, both by significant margins.
She handles the ball well in the middle of the motion offense and sets great picks.
She is vocal on the floor, directing both offense and defense.
She has not yet been shown to be a bad defender.

Why do you keep dissing her?

Everybody who posts here is at least a latent UConn fan. Especially you. Doesn't this kinda get you goin'?

It was Hartley off the bench for Doty.

I watched Jordan yesterday against Kentucky and I think at this level she should play the 2 or 3.

Lets see if she does it against Baylor.

Oh geez - it's so obvious. You LOVE UConn, and you've always loved UConn - and you just don't realize it yet.

I remember a guy I worked with who wore a Yankee cap to work. I told him I didn't know he was a Yankee fan. He said he wasn't - he just liked the logo. RIGHT!!!!
