Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 5118066, member: 10435"] Exactly. Is her role as a point guard to score first, pass first, run the offense first, defend primarily, drive and dish, drive and pull up, shoot the 3 or a combination thereof? We have Paige, and soon Azzi, and also Ash and Sarah with Jana emerging as a scoring force underneath. As the Princeton point she had to score and had the freedom to shoot and create, but with two great shooters/scorers in Paige and Azzi, they should be doing that. It is not just that we shoot 3 pointers or pull ups but also who shoots them because of percentages and scoring per possession. So yes, when Kaitlyn drives and forces it is counterproductive even if just Morghan or Allie is open at the arc. They are a lot better shooters than BYers are considering them to be right now. So KC has to continue to evolve into a pure passing floor general at times with strong defensive and offensive skills and at other times into a high percentage scorer/shooter meaning very selective shots or moves when open. There are a lot of targets here for assists. The team is shooting 60% from the field including Q's 3-10 and 40% from the arc. Just from the field without the 3 point shots, we are shooting 70%. These are stupid numbers that will certainly decrease with competition but for now play the numbers like Paige shooting 74% from the field inclusive of 50% from the arc. Just think how many shots Nike wouldn't take with this scoring talent around her. [/QUOTE]
