Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3791682, member: 26"] Getting back to Paige, she almost never takes a bad shot. How many times have we seen players from other teams barrel into the post and jack up a crazy shot hoping to get bailed out by a foul call? Or shooting a 3 with the shot clock winding down because they couldn't get any other shot? I realize it's a small sample size, but she's so good with the ball and so crafty that even when she's 1 on 3, I feel like it's still a good shot because she finds a way to get herself open, and therefore IMHO, the shot is there. I literally feel like every shot she takes is going in, and I find myself slightly surprised when it doesn't! Reminds me of a more slender Sabrina in that respect. I get why Geno wants her to be more selfish. But I also get her instincts to get her teammates involved. She needs to find a balance between bringing the ball down the court and creating her own shot every single possession, and passing up to many open shots. I'm betting in high school, she could have averaged 50 PPG, and I'm betting inside her mind, she knows that. But to her credit, she's an incredible teammate (and passer) and she often tries to get her teammates involved, clearly in high school as well. In 6 games she's taken 78 shots, or 13 per game. I'm betting Geno wants her to take between 18-20 per game. If she has that many open shots, can you imagine her scoring average? [USER=366]@MilfordHusky[/USER] gave me a list of players who have averaged over 20 PPG for an entire season. Bascom 3x, Pheesa twice, and Maya/Sales/Lou once each. Hardly ever done at UCONN. Paige may average a good number less PPG next season, but I'm betting her APG goes way up (Thank you Azzi Fudd!!) [/QUOTE]
