Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 4027467, member: 7548"] As you say, Caitlin plays at one "hyper" speed which unfortunately for me reduces the enjoyment I get. I understand there is an adrenaline surge for the fans when she hits multiple 35' shots or drives hard in traffic but for me, it turns to annoyance (for me and maybe the coaches?) that she is often 'hogging' the ball or taking a ridiculously quick shot when other options for her teammates are already open or can be developed. It is one thing when you are head and shoulders the best player on your team (like Iowa?) but not so much U19 where all your teammates have alot of skill and can get quality shots. I personally enjoy the change of pace, the well thought out use of screens and movement etc Caitlin is an uninhibited force of nature that has incredible range which distorts a defense and opens up lots of opportunities but will also take alot of risks which can often come at bad times and again hurts to watch especially keeping in mind that she is a fundamentally good passer I think Sabrina is much closer to Paige than Caitlin. Sabrina is far closer to my pass first ideal and has an excellent change of pace game but is probably a little more shot aggressive than Paige is and maybe closer to Geno's optimum. In a sense, Geno probably wants Paige to get some of Caitlin's mindset but not me, Paige is the purest unselfish basketball player I have ever seen and as Geno has said, it is that part that translates when you see her on TV (at least to some of us) [/QUOTE]
