Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 5244939, member: 591"] At Arizona Jada was a team leader. Heart and soul type. That might not specifically translate, of course, depending on team need. On the court, she typically played point or point/2 guard depending who was on the floor with her. She was often the person on the court who knew where the other players were supposed to be, directing them to their spots. That said, she became visibly frustrated at times when players were not where they were supposed to be and I think at times this either affected her play or got her a brief respite on the bench. She is a streaky shooter. Just is, it isn't really a negative as many players are. It does have 2 mild downsides - first, when she was off she was still being depended on to shoot. She was the leading scorer but other players were close. It isn't like her points average was unbelievable, in fact, I would argue that Arizona's problems were at least partly caused by a lack of a "star" go to player - although scoop has it that Jada, at least at times, thought she was the second coming of Aari. The other downside was that when she was on, some of her shots could be "outstanding" - but even if she was generally on, you just couldn't (obviously) count on every shot going in, and she would get in streaks of trying to take over, which (typically) didn't actually happen. I liked Jada on the team a lot, but I wasn't surprised she was a team leader in departing. Absent confirming whether a reported transfer yesterday was an April Fools or for real, I think Arizona is down to 2 or 3 players plus 2 walk-ons that have scholly's. I am most unhappy. [/QUOTE]
