Message: [QUOTE="The deacon, post: 4780394, member: 11559"] This is a beautiful summation of what Paige is, and what she could be... like everyone else here, I pray that all of it comes to pass. The only time I've seen her play in person was the season opener vs. a pretty good Arkansas team in November 2021. All she did was shoot 15 of 19 from the floor (while usually well guarded), score 34 points and almost single-handedly help the Huskies avoid the upset loss. I can't wait to see her vs. Dayton, and numerous more games this season. Oldude, I've got two quick points to make: 1) I'll argue that, until the time comes that Azzi is consistent as a premier shooter in games, I've got Paige as the best shooter on the team. 2) You (and pretty much everyone here) undervalues Caitlin Clark. Your first three paragraphs, all highly laudable and on-target about Paige, could just as easily have been written about Caitlin. That she happens to play with less talented teammates somehow seems to make people forget just how remarkably gifted Caitlin is as a scorer, yes, also as a rebounder, as a passer and, yes, [I]in making her teammates better.[/I] Oh, well, as I've said so many times on the BY, I just wish more people could have watched Clark the past few years as she willed the Hawkeyes to wins over teams that were clearly better stocked with top players. Have you folks forgotten what she did in the NCAA tournament last year, including her brilliance vs. South Carolina? 3) Oh, yeah... yes, Oldude, she can! Anyway, well done, Oldude, I always enjoy reading your analyses. Keep 'em coming. [/QUOTE]
