Azzi Fudd is ridiculous, too

.-.
Today, she got a steal, dribbled behind her back, drove the length of the floor, and made a layup while getting fouled. Of course, she made the free throw.
On that FT. Azzi is currently shooting 100% from the foul line this year, having made all 17 of her FT’s. I checked to see if anyone had shot and made all of their free throws in a season, setting a minimum of at least 50 taken. While a few MBB players have accomplished that feat, no woman has ever done so. EDD hit 58/59 in a season. But perfection has never been achieved.

DISCLAIMER: I fully accept any and all responsibility for jinxing Azzi on the FT line…..

About that behind the back dribble, I was struck by it too. Tons of kids can do that casually. But to use it effectively in game conditions with a defender in your face is decidedly different. And controlling the ball tightly on the other side is not easy.

Azzi kept the ball close throughout, and used it to blow past a defender who’d gotten too close. Paige also does such things regularly, especially in the open court in transition breaks. But even she doesn’t control it as tightly as Azzi has been doing of late. I think this is one more example of how she’s raising her game to a new level.

EDD has a highly unorthodox form, but she may be the only FT shooter as good as Azzi.
