Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4394154, member: 12088"] No one’s saying Nika doesn’t do some awesome things. We just need her to do even more awesome things. And that doesn’t mean she has to become a [B]great[/B] shooter. She just needs to become a shooter. It’s too tedious to go through this all again. I have no idea who thinks she needs to score 20. Don’t blame me for that thought. I don’t even have a specific number. I just want her to score off the dribble enough to be the threat a pg needs to be. Your comparison to Didi really highlights the challenge for Nika. Let’s not look only at the Elite Eight game two years ago where Paige torched them. That was a season when I didn’t think they had a chance at an NC, not only because Didi’s production had tailed off from two years earlier, though that had something to do with it. But in their title run, she was much more of a scorer. Just look at the box scores and you’ll see it clear as day. They were a more well rounded team and Didi was a more well rounded player. The notion that UConn won’t be a better team with a more well rounded Nika is about as reasonable as saying the Baylor team that lost to UConn was better than the one that won the NC. [/QUOTE]
