Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 4234282, member: 11020"] I agree, but does Paige have to change her game? Probably since grammar school to High School, AAU, and last year during her freshman year at UConn, Paige has been the player who ran the show, scored most of the points, and was the go-to person if her team was going to win. That is the way she has always played, because the results of a game usually fell on her shoulders. Now, she has more than 1 or 2 options, but maybe 4 options on each possession. Although her mind set was to pass, Geno made a point of encouraging her to shoot more, because she was the best shooter on the team. I think Paige realizes that and is on board with that, but will it keep her from trying to make a play for herself? She is the best player on the team, so will her willingness make us weaker or stronger? To be effective, Paige still has to play her game, so once she gets back into shape, she must return to her previous form and mentality. The difference now is that she doesn't have to force shots, but make no mistake, she has to get her 10-12 shots in. Not only will it help her, but by being aggressive it will open things up for the rest of the shooters. She cannot change, but with her new options, she can become a better player, a player that she envisioned when she first came into the program. I believe she can do this, and if she can adapt to her "new" team, we will be extremely hard to beat. [/QUOTE]
