Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5163786, member: 12088"] I’ve wondered about this for a while. What would it be like to have both Paige and Azzi firing on all cylinders next to Sarah? Are there enough possessions in a game to allow the three of them to really break out? Paige averages ~20ppg and Sarah is around 17ppg and they both shoot around 56%. We saw in her shortened sophomore year that Azzi is perfectly capable of putting up similar numbers. In a typical game, UConn manages ~60 fg attempts. For Paige Azzi and Sarah to produce ~60ppg while shooting a little above 50% they’ll use roughly 50 attempts. This doesn’t leave a lot of opportunities for the rest of the team, maybe 15-20 if I’m being optimistic. What I’m getting at is that it may be unrealistic to expect the big three to score a combined 60 pts every game. My guess is that Azzi will yield opportunities to Paige and Sarah most games and may end up averaging closer 10-12ppg. [/QUOTE]
