Message: [QUOTE="Bajan Best, post: 2247413, member: 7387"] I'm not exactly sure how you came to the conclusion that the Z/Napheesa combo would be loss in the High low offense.. If anything it should be an improvement since both Z & Napheesa are regarded as UN-gaurdable.. with range extended beyond the three point arc.. and being almost 5" taller would definitely give Azura the edge in both passing and receiving the entry.. Secondly Neither are just Dominant Post players, both are versatile and have the ability to play on the perimeter as well.. As a matter of fact that is where Azura was most comfortable, and is now working with the UConn staff to be more consistent with her post game offensively.. Any team wanting to play Zone against UCONN this coming season, better be ready for games with record scoring, considering the amount of capable shooter's of upperclassmen on the team from beyond the arc.. KLS, Nurse, Napheesa, Azura, with a few freshmen who are also deadly from that range.. Gabby will score as she often does by being active in the motion offense, fastbreaks and on putbacks etc.. Her assist number could even be more impressive this coming year with the scorer's surrounding her.. And will be on the court a lot because of her outstanding defense.. There is no speculation when it comes to Z, the young lady is that good.. Geno does not give false praise to anyone, and he has already stated how dominant she was at practices last year.. It should be a fun year for us Fans, but very demoralizing for those who have to face them.. barring injuries this should be an incredible team... Can't wait to watch it all play out.. [/QUOTE]
