The video was taken between her Jr. and Sr. years in high school.
Azzi has been going to that gym for 2-3 years and has posted multiple videos from there, but that looks like a new video. Why do you think it's an old video?
Agreed regarding Azzi, MilfordHusky, the preferred ceiling for her FGAs is much higher than what she had last season. I'd like to see Azzi with 13-14 per game and Caroline with a dozen or so (many of which would likely be in the paint).Stewie's sophomore year stands out, as does Lou's. Paige averaged 14.6 in her NPOY freshman year. Maya averaged 16.7 in her NPOY senior season. That's VERY high. My wish for Azzi depends on how well everyone else steps up, but I like 13-14 shots on average. She averaged 9.4 last year.
FYI, Caitlin Clark averaged 18.8 and 19.8 in her 2 seasons. Far too many!
The easy answer to your question "if" she can maintain efficiency is yes. Early in the season she passed up a few looks from 3 and i think Geno got on her about that and later she was taking every open look from there as she should. IMO the increase in attempts is more related to her two point shots and creating her own off the dribble.Curious, let’s say Azzi shoots 48% from 3 and 52% overall. Would that not be a reason for her to have more shot attempts? I realize there has to be an upper limit but if she actually were able to maintain those percentages why would we not want her to shoot 18-20 times per game?

If the scoring is spread and everyone only takes good shots she could be a 60/50/95 scorer. Bueckers was over 50% from 3 into January of her freshman year and Bueckers says Fudd is a better 3 pt shooter. They argue about who is the better midrange shooter. If the five 4's can draw defenders into the paint and/or set good screens Fudd, Ducharme and LLS's should get lots of open looks.
What I think will surprise some is the completeness of Fudd's game. Geno commented that she had a college-ready body when she was a HS sophomore 4 years ago. He has also said that her fundamentals and skills were as complete as any he had ever seen in a freshman.
Those are phenomenal stats.Some historical stats for context:
Sue (sophomore): .502/.497/.898 (phenomenal, essentially 50/50/90)
Sue (senior): .505/.466/.942 (NPOY-worthy)
Maya (freshman): .543/.420/.743 (freshman!)
Maya (senior): .524/.384/.843
Moriah (junior): .587/.496/.843 (unreal!)
Moriah (senior): .557/.431/.894 (combine with Stewie's senior stats!)
Stewie (senior): .579/.426/.836 (outstanding!)
Diana (sophomore): .494/.440/.828 (combine that with Sue's senior stats!)
Paige (freshman): .524/.464/.869
Kaleena (sophomore): .528/.492/.895 (missed 50/40/90 by 1 FT)
Kaleena (senior): .518/.488/.895 (missed 50/40/90 by 1 FT)
Excellent article. Thanks for sharing. Even more interesting than the actual 3 pt shooting is the data about drives to the basket. I hope they’re right about the increased room for cutters, since that will benefit our game more than most teams.IDK know how fair any direct player comparison can be when the 3 point line was moved back twice, first by 1 foot in 2011, and then by another 16 inches in 2021.
Analysis shows that freshmen were affected more by the recent line change than upper classmen.
The cumulative longer distances makes direct player comparisons less & less meaningful.
Today's 3 point shooters have less room for error & an increased level of difficulty compared to WCBB players of previous years.
