Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 2411442, member: 5823"] Graham Hays now and Geno previously add much credibility to what has been proposed here by a few- that Azura may be best player on this UCONN roster. [I]"[B]Auriemma said, at times, Stevens was the best player on the court[/B]. "There was no matchup for Azura," he said. "None." "Now a roster that features three returning All-Americans (Napheesa Collier, Katie Lou Samuelson Gabby Williams) and a Canadian Olympian (Kia Nurse) includes a 6-foot-6 player with a soft touch and t[B]he potential to be the best of them all.[/B]" [/I] For those that continue to insist that Azura cannot be the best player on this team because she has played "exactly zero games in a UCONN uniform" consider : [B]1)[/B] Azura's much more heralded teammates Napheesa Collier, Katie Lou Samuelson Gabby Williams were in the gym for which Geno is saying there were no matchups, as was A'ja Wilson and Kia Stokes. Uhm...seems like I'm forgetting soneone. Can someone please remind me, [B]who else was at that camp where Geno said there was no matchups up for Azura? [/B] [B]2)[/B] Freshmen Azura Stevens played in a game featuring 3 All American players ( KML, Breanna Stewart, Elizabeth Williams) and three additional players that would be named AA ( Moriah Jefferson, Morgan Tuck, Gabby Williams). Duke lost the game badly but Azura Stevens [B]outscored ALL the current and future AA with the exception of Moriah Jefferson [/B]who went on a 2nd half 3Pt barage to break the game open and outscored Azura in that game by 2 points. [B]3)[/B] For the most part we are talking about potential here, Graham use that word in his article. Geno turns potential into reality better than anyone, which is a point [USER=1052]@CamrnCrz1974[/USER] has always pointed out whenever this subject comes up. Azura teammates have had the benefit of Geno's tutulage for at least twice as long in some cases 3 times as long as Azura, so it's pretty remarkable that Azura is this close to her present teammates.
