With another 40%+ 3 pt shooter in LOU, it should spread the floor for all the shooters and drivers. With another year of confidence and defense turning the offense up a notch, it will be a GREAT year to push all the way to the NC!I think you might be misunderstanding what Geno said. Or maybe I am. Here’s the quote.
“I wish she [Azzi] had some of Paige’s just, ‘Play brainless,’ just kind of play and not worry about the outcome so much, just play,” Auriemma said. “And I wish Paige had a little more of Azzi’s discipline. But that’s why they’re so good together. They complement each other really well.”
« Brainless » is not a criticism. It’s a necessary quality for playing at the highest level. « Just kind of play and not worry about the outcome. » Geno is not saying that Paige makes more mistakes or has worse decision making. Even Azzi says that Paige has a higher BB IQ. But despite Azzi’s limited playing time this year, either playing injured or missing games, she does demonstrate remarkable discipline. A fully healthy and more experienced Azzi next season could be scary. And with Paige no longer needing to defer to seniors and because she enjoys passing more than scoring, I’m hoping to see more points from Azzi on assists by Paige.
Praying for a health restoring Summer, followed by a VERY healthy and strong, FULL, and talented 11 women roster including AG, Dorka, AZZI, Caroline, PB, and the rest who did not require surgery [AE, Nika, Lou, Amari, AP, and ICE] to remain healthy and get stronger and FULLY confident to build towards NC #12 in March/April 2023.
Go Huskies!!!
