Message: [QUOTE="Littlemin, post: 4010222, member: 10363"] Well since she didn’t play PG last year, I am not sure your what you are basing your opinion on but you are more than entitled to it. I look at players play and then form opinions and in Bueckers I saw an extremely talented player that depended on picks and kick outs to get her shots off. She almost never broke down a defender in the half court and therefore showed me almost no ability to create her own shot. That is not a knock on her, it is a weakness or maybe better phrased, an area for improvement, in her game. And by the way, that doesn’t mean she can’t add that to her arsenal but my belief, pure speculation, is that Auriemma WANTED her to do that, hence “hunting shots”, which she refused to do. I believe she lets the “game come to her” to a degree because of that deficiency. Again, she is a freshman and an absolutely terrific player but until she shows me that she can break defenses down I will stand by my position. One last point, whether Muhl is a better point guard or not is completely irrelevant to whether or not the TEAM is better with her at point and Bueckers off the ball; obviously Auriemma thought so. This is a different year and a different team so we shall see. [/QUOTE]
