Message: [QUOTE="ballerfan, post: 4260422, member: 11596"] As a UConn fan, I’m biased. I think Azzi and Paige are the most talented players in woman’s college basketball. That they have a 60% effective field goal average is amazing. But I don’t feel like dismissing Clark (or Boston). Clark is a great passer, averaging 8 assists per game compared with 1 for Azzi. Clark is the leader on the court for Iowa. Azzi, not so much for UConn. Because Clark plays on a weaker team, it gives the opposing team the opportunity to focus the defense on her. Azzi gets a lot of her 3s on high percent shots from the 3 point line. Clark is often taking much more difficult shots from farther out. Azzi is just a freshman, and she missed a lot of games this year. I think she’s going to be even more dominant in the seasons to come. I would always pick Azzi over Clark. Sweetspot, I’m not saying that you don’t appreciate and admire Clark, but I just felt like saying that Clark is a great player and that it’s been fun watching Iowa games this year with her. An aside. Paige’s FT% last year was 87. This year 68. Baffling. [/QUOTE]
