Azzi putting in work

[GirlBoo1020]

Great to see her shooting, but I didn't understand this line:

"@azzi_35 shattered multiple shooting records over the last week and a half."

What records did she shatter over the last week and a half? The video was posted August 24, so obviously no games of any kind... what records is the poster referring to?

They mean their gym records. Like they count makes and misses and certain drills and she performed better than any other athlete at that gym. I know that makes her better than atleast Paige but now sure who else lol.

Well, it might make her better than Paige in that gym, on that day, with nothing on the line but bragging rights, but it is relatively meaningless as it pertains to playing real games. She is certainly a great shooter and, who knows, could be better in real games than Paige, I suppose, but I doubt it. I certainly hope so, however, as it would be almost unfair to the rest of women’s basketball!

I will be ecstatic if she (Azzi) can just have a healthy season! Any kind of comparison between her and Paige is really beside the point, with the possible (hopeful) exception of which one looks more graceful up on the ladder after the final game of the season!

Two Godzilla-level shotmakers on the same team playing side by side. I can see that being almost unfair.

I want it to be unfair and bad for women's basketball.

Suspect that it may take part of the season for Azzi to ramp up to anywhere near where she was in the past. Not an issue for me since she is one of the most natural shooters in college history and even if she initially only puts in 15-20 minutes a game, she could still be a game changer.

Any thoughts on Azzi just coming off the bench the whole year? Super sub, limited pressure, yet a defined role as a scorer who has plays run for her.

I wouldn't hate it but Geno already said its not happening. I also think Azzi might need the confidence that comes with being a starter. Coming off the bench isn't for anyone.

Yes, let Azzi come off the bench for the whole year. Two reasons: (1) it would protect her bum leg; (2) Ash12 (along with KK) is the near-term and long-term core future of the backcourt.
