Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 3787590, member: 7548"] Personally, I am glad Paige keeps looking for others and implicitly expects top players to do their share. It is her Pass First mentality that makes her so special and a true joy to watch. This harping for Paige to take more shots drives me nuts because most of those shots she passes out of are contested like that baseline shot before half and the driving lanes are snuffed out by a well coached team when outside shooting is subpar. Geno admits as much when he says 'Passing first is great when you have Klay Thompson and Steph Curry but they are not available'. Well, Azzi, Caroline and Saylor will be coming next year but regarding this year, if Christyn and Evina expect to make the jump to the next level, their shooting has to improve. Aaliyah should be starting. Not only is she physical but she defends well on the court and had pretty good lateral movement. She also cuts well and will get better with more use. I am also glad Mir is out of Geno's doghouse. He says she is improving and she is another player who is aggressive and moves without the ball. Today she did not finish her shots but I see her pushing Aubrey hard for minutes. [/QUOTE]
