Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4181905, member: 1131"] Has anyone noticed what I have during the last two games, since Azzi returned from her foot issue, that she does a lot of small things on the basketball court that have little or nothing to do with shooting? Like stealing the ball from Ms. Morrow after a rebound in the DePaul game, or dribbling out of trouble a couple of times in the Providence game, or making the right pass in the offense. Also, like positioning herself correctly for rebounds and leaping high to get contested rebounds. AND, she makes layups and free throws. Last night against Providence, in 29 minutes Azzi had zero turnovers in a game where (in 27 minutes) Caroline had 5 of them. Azzi and Caroline had the same number of rebounds (4 each) in that game. Azzi shot well and played fairly well against DePaul (she did have 3 turnovers in Chicago); she shot poorly and played well against Providence. I cannot see any lingering aftereffects of her injury. I am cautiously optimistic that she will shoot (over the rest of the season) about in line with the Boneyard's expectations, and that she will (like Caroline) also play well most of the time with the occasional bad game.
