For UConn fans still wondering how much Arnold will play this year, I think this quote by Geno gives us a clue.....
.“She can push the tempo for us. Watching her play this summer, it was especially noticeable how aggressive she was getting into the lane, and defensively being disruptive. She’s a terrific leader and her teammates respond to her leadership. We think of all the point guards that are coming out of high school, she fits us better than anyone else. KK’s probably the first point guard since Moriah Jefferson that plays at that pace and is a little bit stronger."
As she creates space for herself, the move that stands out the most is her quick crossover, which compliments her in-and-out. They’re not complex moves, but she has them nailed down in a way that makes them tough to defend. I wonder how many times KK will be rewarded with an "and 1" this season after driving by an opponent using that wicked crossover and driving to the basket?
That crossover-step back will also create "open shots" for as well. It's already been well documented that she is not bashful about taking shots.
Shooters shoot!! That's what they do. KK is a pistol.
