Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 4451721, member: 6819"] Well, I noted on the BY that AE, and from the first time I saw her, had both a left, a right leg drop, and an up and under. I complained that it took Liv until her sophomore year to even attempt a left leg drop. I noted that unlike Liv, AE didn't consistently bring the ball below her waist. I noted as well that AE was unafraid to use her body. What she added last year was a face up fake, then back to the basket and spin. What she has now is the confidence to use all these moves, use them at the proper time, and be confident she can score with them. Just as important of course has been her confidence in her midrange game, and her ability to play defense without fouling (especially the silly fouls) which keeps her on the court. My complaint against Ayanna has been she hasn't shown a hint of a leg drop or an up and under. Only put backs, face up shot and the fake. Like AE, Elalfy will have to learn when and what moves to use and at what time. Will Elalfy be better than Amari right now? Not in my head. Let's see how she reacts to bigger, better and faster competition. Let's see how she responds when her pet shots are smacked back in her face. Let's see how she responds when her go to move ain't working. She's not a great leaper. Let's see what her motor looks like. Let's see how she responds to being exposed in practice. Let's see how she responds to criticism. Let's see if she really has a shot. I've seen a lot of really talented players (are you listening Amari?) do next to nothing when given the chance. Let's just see. Show me. [/QUOTE]
