Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 3437636, member: 5823"] This is something (efficiency of movement) that is not talked about often enough with both Paige and Azzi. I don't know if I agree with [USER=366]@MilfordHusky[/USER] about Azzi being the best shooter "ever" but what I continue to marvel at is how they get to those shots. There is no wasted movement, the head fakes and jab steps are subtle, the dribble is minimal, and the elevation explosive & controlled, their eyes are always on the target. Every pass arrives at the optimal time to finish or precisely in the shooting pocket so that the receiver can go right into the shot. When ND played Texas A&M in the tournament Muffet McGraw said of Chennedy Carter "we can't guard her, you just have to hope she misses". That is what UCONN is getting with Paige and hopefully Azzi also. Only Maya Moore ever achieved this level of efficiency with the basketball in her hands. BTW best shooter I ever saw is Sue Bird.
