Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4732836, member: 5798"] For UConn fans still wondering how much Arnold will play this year, I think this quote by Geno gives us a clue.....[I].“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. [B]She’s a terrific leader and her teammates respond to her leadership.[/B] We think of all the point guards that are coming out of high school, she fits us better than anyone else.[/I] [I]KK’s probably the first point guard since Moriah Jefferson that plays at that pace and is a little bit stronger." [/I] 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? :rolleyes: 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. [/QUOTE]
