Message: [QUOTE="connie, post: 3665242, member: 7882"] Shamelessly quoting myself from prior post -- because not enough good can be said of Napheesa. Ever. "Favorite UConn player. Ever. Period. Quiet. Dignified. Measured. Elegant. Efficient. Dedicated. Sporting. Diligent. Relentless. Intelligent. She never stopped working. Always ran the floor. Never lost her composure. Impeccable footwork. Great inside game. Great rebounder. Great eyes. Great hands. Great length. Great shot blocker. Great passer. Great teammate. An absolute workhorse who not only never missed a single game, but never so much as took a wrong step. She even looked good when fouling. Without question, the best fingertips of any player I’ve ever seen. Ever! **** Developed and developing arsenal of shots: in-between jumper; that little 10’ set shot; her up and under (shades of Kevin McHale); her Euro step; use of the glass; that indefensible turn around, arching fade away; and eventually a shot beyond the arc (admittedly, never fully deployed during her college years); and Her movement without the ball, manifesting itself in many ways, and eliciting comments on her “nose for the ball”, uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time, facility for picking up easy put-backs, getting “garbage” buckets, her agility at deploying the famed Collier “cloaking device”. In a nutshell, it is a key source to what made her “the Silent Assassin” (a phrase I never particularly cared for). Was there [I]ever[/I] a UConn player who moved better—more effectively, efficiently and intelligently—[I]without[/I] the ball?" [/QUOTE]
