I saw some Paige in her as well. Mostly from a standpoint of quick decisions reading the defense, and the ability with a variety of moves to get just enough separation to consistently get her shot off with a defender close by. In addition to the skills you mentioned the step-back and fade aways were impressive as well. The rest of her abilities may be nothing special by Uconn standards, but it is clear she is both shooter and scorer.
She will face much better opponents and defenders this year, but on the other hand she will not be the focus of the defenses. You can't leave or cheat off of Paige or Azzi to help on Lou, so she should get quite a few open looks, and when creating your own shot is necessary she can do that too, but will probably be expected to do that less often than at Fairfield due to Uconn having many other good offensive options.
I’ve watched videos of Lou on YouTube, and this one is the best. Thanks, TeamFirst!, for posting it.
As someone else mentioned, Fairfield did play good teams last season, including Texas. The full game used to be online. Lou did great against the Texas defense, despite being the main scoring threat for her team. She made some really difficult shots. And oldhuskie made a good point. On UConn, Lou won’t be double teamed or the main concern of the defense. We’ll have to wait until the fall, but with her athleticism, ball handing, and shooting ability, combined with the opposing defense’s obsession with Paige and Azzi, Lou could play a big role this season. I don’t think she’ll be a starter, but I don’t think she won’t.
Vive la République, vive la France.
