Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4422453, member: 12088"] Bear in mind that Geno’s not talking about layups on runouts. Nika’s always been great at those. He’s taking about players who can “just go” in the half court set, who can breakdown a defender one-on-one when they see there’s no help defender available. That said, I was especially pleased by a pull up jump shot she took. And she drove the lane a couple times, even made one of those. This is a development I’ve been hoping to see, for reasons that have been discussed at great length in many threads over the summer. The previous two years, she took hardly any shots in the half court set. Most of her offense in the half court came from wide open 3 point shots. That she seems now more willing to do this is huge in my book. Azzi Caroline Lou, even Aubrey and Ayanna, are a constant threat to “just go.” The more Nika develops this side of her game the better. After Nika’s pull up jump shot, the next possession she drove into the lane and the defense collapsed on her and she found Azzi for a wide open 3 pointer. This represents a new wrinkle to her game and makes her a better pg. [/QUOTE]
