I agree, and believe Azzi was trying to fit in a little too much. She did reach a point where she was firing away whenever she had a look at a 3pt shot, but was very hesitant to take people off the dribble. Her mid-range pull up jumper is quick and I think she can get it off over most but not all defenders.

There was a stat on Her Hoops that caught my eye regarding her. She was only in the 38th percentile in two point attempts per 40 minutes. In other words she attempted fewer 2's than the average division 1 player. Some of that is because she is looking for the 3 pointers of course, but I think her ability to create her own shot is very good, and should be attempted far more often as she gains confidence in getting it off.

Last year was mostly being an efficient spot up 3pt shooter, and pretty efficient on 2's as well, but with few attempts. This year she presumably will have a little more of a "scorers" mentality but be efficient there as well. Against the best team open looks will be fewer and the need to create your own shot even greater. Paige needs more help in that way.
